Answer:

D- personification; snow reaches

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech that allows a writer to provide inanimate objects and animals with characteristics and abilities that are unique, or strongly related, to human beings.

An example of this can be seen in the passage shown in the question above, because we can read the phrase "It reaches to the Fence." This phrase is being spoken in relation to the snow, stating that "the snow reaches". The word "reaches" is strongly linked to the human ability to reach a certain place, which means that when the author attributed this word to snow, he used the figure of speech called personification.

In at least 150 words, analyze Hemingway’s choice of not giving the male character a name.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Although “Hills Like White Elephants” is primarily a conversation between the American man and his girlfriend, neither of the speakers truly communicates with the other, highlighting the rift between the two. Both talk, but neither listens or understands the other’s point of view. Frustrated and placating, the American man will say almost anything to convince his girlfriend to have the operation, which, although never mentioned by name, is understood to be an abortion. He tells her he loves her, for example, and that everything between them will go back to the way it used to be. The girl, meanwhile, waffles indecisively, at one point conceding that she’ll have the abortion just to shut him up. When the man still persists, she finally begs him to “please, please, please, please, please, please” stop talking, realizing the futility of their conversation. In fact, the girl’s nickname, “Jig,” subtly indicates that the two characters merely dance around each other and the issue at hand without ever saying anything meaningful. The girl’s inability to speak Spanish with the bartender, moreover, not only illustrates her dependence on the American but also the difficulty she has expressing herself to others.

In ACT I of ROMEO & JULIET, what angers Tybalt at Lord Capulet's party?

dlinn [17]

Answer: D. Lord Capulet tells Tybalt he needs to leave the party.

Explanation:

TYBALT

I’ll strike him dead, and hold it not a sin.

CAPULET

Why, how now, kinsman? Wherefore storm you so?

TYBALT

Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe.

A villain that is hither come in spite,

To scorn at our ceremony this night.

CAPULET

Young Romeo, is it?

TYBALT

‘Tis he, that villain Romeo.

CAPULET

Content thee, gentle cousin. Let him alone.

He bears himself like a real gentleman.

And, to say truth, Verona brags of him

To be a virtuous and well-governed youth.

I would not, for the wealth of all this town,

Here in my house do him disparagement.

Therefore be patient, take no note of him.

It is my will, so if this thou respect,

Show a fair presence, and give up those frowns

Which are ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.

TYBALT

It fits, when such a villain is a guest.

I’ll not endure him.

CAPULET

He shall be endured.

What, lordful boy! I say he shall. Go to.

Am I the master here or you? Go to.

You’ll not endure him. God shall mend my soul!

You’ll make a mutiny among my guests:

You will set chaos here. You’ll be the cause!

TYBALT

But Uncle, he shames us.

CAPULET

Go to, go to.

You are a saucy boy. Is’t so, indeed?

This trick may chance to scathe you, I know what.

Must you contradict me? Marry, ‘tis time–

[To GUESTS] Well said, my hearts — [To TYBALT] You are a young fool. Go.

Be quiet, or — [To SERVANTS] More light, more light! — [To TYBALT] For shame,

I’ll make you quiet. — [To GUESTS] What, cheerly my hearts!

TYBALT

Patience forced, with willful choler meeting,

Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting.

I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall,

Now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall.

Exit TYBALT
