Answer: C) neither.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." A metaphor is also a comparison but it is direct (without using the words "like" or "as"). The given phrase isn't an example of a simile of a metaphor because it isn't comparing anything, it is just describing the veils by saying that they are made of white lace.

Both of listed literature's tools are frequently used to express the comparison between two things that could be not alike but have something in common. Neither of the options are suitable for your sentence, because there is no direct or allusional comparison.

Explain in your own words the purpose of Puritan ministers preaching sermons called 'jeremiads' that vehemently
MrRissso [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

Puritans were protestors in 16th and 17th century who scared people with their sermons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

“Sermon” is a religious talk given in church.  Puritans wanted to purify the ''Church of England'' from the ''Roman catholic practices''. They observed that there is a decrease in the number of religious devotees of ''second-generation'' settlers. To increase this, they 'preached' a type of sermon called "jeremiad". This sermon basically wanted to scare people by stating that if anyone committed any sin, they would be tortured and burnt in hell.  

By all this, people would remain Puritan and believe in God and Church.

In fourteen brief lines, Donne employs several metaphors to describe his relationship to God. In at least 200 words, write a res
Arada [10]

Answer:

Check below for the answer

Explanation:

The 14 line poem referred to in this question is Holy Sonnet X also referred to as Death be not proud by John Donne.

One of the metaphors he used is "poor death". He refers to death directly as poor because it is not as powerful as he is seen by people or as he sees himself. John Donne believes in life after death as a devout christian and so tells death that those who he thinks he kills do not die, he only delivers their souls from pain and anguish and delivers their souls into an eternity of life and peace. He challenges death that he (death) does not have the power to kill him ( Donne). He said, "For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,

Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.

From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,

Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,

And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,

Rest of their bones, and souls deliverie."

John Donne also uses another metaphor for death. "Thou are slave to faith, chance....". He considers death as powerless on its own who does not kill on its own volition but only run errands for forces more powerful than himself. He says death has nothing to be proud of since he is only an " errand boy" for these superior forces.

This can be seen from the second to the last stanza, " Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,

And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,

And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,

And better than thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?"

In the last line, John alludes to the point made in the scriptures that we as men shall live for ever in eternity while death himself shall die as it has been written.
