English

Liono4ka [1.6K]3 years ago

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches.<u> The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like".</u> Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. <u>Comparisons that use support words are called </u><u>simile.</u> They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.

What symbols does Frost use in "The Road Not Taken"? How do these symbols help shape the deeper meaning of the poem? Retell the
storchak [24]

Answer:

Frost uses his conflict of having to choose between two paths as he was walking through the woods one day; the path more or less traveled. The paths in the woods that Frost spoke of in his poem symbolize the routes you can take in life. This makes the poem's meaning deeper by causing the audience to relate making choices in your life to something as insignificant as choosing which path to take as you walk through the forest. Frost even goes so far as to say he may come back to that spot and choose the path he hadn't before, then going on to say that it wouldn't be likely as the path he chose will likewise lead him down more and more paths with more and more choices. This poem is ultimately of a person going through life when he comes to a crossroad, a moment where he must choose between two choices, the choice more or less popular. He thinks for a bit before starting down the path less traveled, or the choice less popular. He then thinks that perhaps he'll come back to that spot in life again one day before acknowledging that it very well may never happen as the choice he chose will bring him to other paths or choices to be made in his life. In the poem, he even goes so far as to say that the choice he made of choosing the less popular choice rather than the more popular one has led him to where he is today, which holds true, literally and figuratively.
