What does it mean when someone is referred to as "sisyphus"?

English

Advocard [28]3 years ago

Answer:

As a metaphor for frustrating and futile labor, the point of this being a punishment for Sisyphus is that it an eternal waste of time and energy. That it is repetitive makes it frustrating because it is the repetition of something boring and useless.

Explanation:

<u>Repetition is a literary device that has the same sound or words being repeated in succession or in close gaps in a sentence</u>. In it, the same words or phrases are repeated more than once in order to reemphasize the words or phrases.

<u>Alliteration is the repetition of the same letter or sound of a word in close consequence in a sentence</u>. It is also more commonly known as head rhyme or initial rhyme for the very first consonant letter or the sound of the word is repeated in the same sentence in sequence or close quarters.

From the given passages from <em>The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was in It</em> by Carl Sandburg, repetition and alliteration can be found in the third passage. This is because the passage contains words such as <u>"</u><em><u>such as</u></em><u>" which is repeated thrice</u> which shows it is a <u>repetition</u>. And <u>alliteration is seen in the words </u><em><u>"potato peeling pans", "tin with tight tin"</u></em><u> and </u><em><u>"bangers on the bottom"</u></em>.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
