Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. B

oth are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.

The great Gatsby figurative language chapter 1
irinina [24]

Answer:

Figurative language includes the use of figures of speech (metaphors, similes, allusions, etc.) to make the speech more effective and persuasive.

In Chapter 1 of <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces the characters and the narrator, and establishes the setting. In doing so, he uses the following figures of speech:

  • Hyperbole (an exaggerated statement or claim)

Jordan, while lying on the couch, says to Tom: <em>"I'm stiff. I've been lying on that sofa for as long as I can remember. " </em>This is, of course, an exaggeration.

  • Metaphor (reference to one thing/concept by mentioning another)

<em>"My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore."</em> Nick refers to his house as an eyesore (an ugly sight in a public place).

  • Personification (giving human characteristics and traits to something that is not human)

<em>"The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person." </em>Nick, the narrator, personifies 'the mind', which detects certain qualities.

  • Simile (comparison of two things by mentioning the similarities between them, usually through the use of words 'like' or 'as')

<em> "Instead of being the warm center of the world, the Middle West now seemed like the ragged edge of the universe." </em>Nick is not satisfied with his home after the war, and compares it to "the ragged edge of the universe."
