Answer:
A) Metaphor, B) Simile, C) Personification, D) Paradox, E) Allusion
Explanation:
A) is an example of a metaphor because it's a comparison of 2 unrelated things (the opponents face and a white sheet) without the use of words "like" or "as".
B) is an example of a simile because of the use of the word "as", and again, the comparison between 2 unrelated objects.
C) is an example of personification because an inanimate object has been given a human attribute. The win had a "heartbeat" which is an attribute of a human.
D) is an example of a paradox because the statement appears to be a bit self-contradictory but is true.
E) is an example of an allusion because it's an indirect reference to a person, place, or thing.
Answer:
The Ship of State is a famous and oft-cited metaphor put forth by Plato in Book VI of the Republic (488a–489d). It likens the governance of a city-state to the command of a naval vessel and ultimately argues that the only people fit to be captain of this ship (Greek: ναῦς) are philosopher kings, benevolent men with absolute power who have access to the Form of the Good. The origins of the metaphor can be traced back to the lyric poet Alcaeus (frs. 6, 208, 249), and it is found in Sophocles' Antigone and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes before Plato.
