Answer: personification.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals) in order to create an image. In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification because Calpurnia says that graves (non human objects) have the ability of yawning and yielding up their dead (which are human characteristics that graves can't really do).

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Climax- The Van Daan's and the Frank's became really scared that the thief would rat them out, so they tried as much as possible to be careful. As time passed the food became less, while Peter Van Daan and Anne Frank became closer than ever.

Rising Action-With the help of Miep and Klieman the two families were able to survive. Miep checks in on them and brings in Food and books to fill them in on what's up in the outside world. Miep also brought one other person to join the two families, Mr. Dussel. The arrival of Mr. Dussel has decreased the quantity of food for the families. The nine people who lived the Annex enquired a problem, when a loud noise was heard from below. Mr. Frank had gone to check what it was, but it seemed the thief had gotten away. This was where the families realized that their hiding spot had been discovered,

Falling Action- A knock was heard from below, everyone was quiet and scared. Mr.Frank opened the door and it was Kleiman he explained that he tried to protect the but, the Nazi didn't believe him. On August 4th, 1944 the nine people who lived in the secret Annex were arrested. They were asked if they wanted to take some of their belongings, but Anne leaves her diary in hopes that it would soon be published. ( It Was!!!!)

Denouement(falling action)- The Van Daan's, the Frank's and Mr. Dussel were all taken to concentration camps. Anne dies of typhus. Anne's sister Margot also dies of Typhus. Edith ( Anne's mother ) dies of hunger/ exhaustion. Mr. Van Daan dies in a gas chamber. The death of Mrs. Van Daan and her son Peter Van Daan is unknown. Otto Frank( Anne's Father ) is the only one who survives of the nine people from the Annex, He was able to publish Anne's diary in 1947. He dies of Lung Cancer in 1980. When the war was over Adolf Hitler killed himself  and concentration camps were liberated by british troops on April 12, 1945.

Which is correctly capitalized? wow! the war museum is huge! wow! the war museum is huge! wow! the war museum is huge! wow! the
irinina [24]
None of these are properly capitalized. Word "wow" should be written as "Wow" since it's the first word in the sentence. Same applies to the word "the". Letter T should be capitalized, making it "The"
