What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework;  it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.

A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."

An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.

Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.

Why does the magician give Ah Fo three wishes? The magician believes that Ah Fo is a wise man who will use the wishes wisely. Th
algol [13]

The magician gave Ah Fo three wishes because;

  • The magician is grateful that Ah Fo rescued him from the evil magician.

Ah Fo was a kind and thoughtful person who never wanted to see any creature in trouble. This was the reason he rescued a bee that was stuck in a spider's web. Unknown to him, this bee was a magician that was trapped by another evil magician.

After he took the bee along with him to his house, he woke up the next day to see that it had left after dropping a note of gratitude and directions to where the old magician could be found.

On finding the magician, he was rewarded with three brass pennies that he could use to make wishes.

Summarily, the three wishes were rewards for Ah Fo's kindness.
