Which part of this excerpt from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an example of metaphor?

1 answer:

3 0

The line that states, "courage is a man with a gun in his hand." It is a metaphor because Lee is not comparing courage to a man with a gun with "like" or "as." Instead, she uses "is", as if she is enforcing the fact that courage IS a man with a gun. That kind of bluntness is only in a metaphor, as the author gives no room for debate.

Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:

OleMash [197]

B. It supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.

Immediately options C and D should be eliminated. In the excerpt there is no mention of teepees or winter so these are not valid answers. This leaves option A and B. The difference between the two is that Option A says the description is from a personal point of view. A personal point of view should be written in first person with the pronouns I, me, my. The excerpt is written from third person point of view so it is not option A.

Descrin Explain how the fire at the end of the novel is heavily ironic

yanalaym [24]

Answer: It is ironic that the same fire that is a threat to Ralph's life actually prevents him from dying.

Explanation:

In Lord of the Files (1954), William Golding tells a story about the British boys who find themselves on a desert island.

At the end of the novel, it is Ralph's intention to create a signal fire so that the rescuers notice them. However, the fire that Jack sets rages and spreads through the forest. Jack's plan is to kill Ralph with the smoke from the fire. Instead of a sign used to attract attention, the fire thus becomes a danger to Ralph's life. The fire ultimately saves the boys, but the irony is that the fire that Jack set to kill Ralph actually saved him from dying, as they got rescued.
