Figurative language is a language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. Figurative language is when you use a word or phrase that does not have its normal everyday, literal meaning. Writers can use figurative language to make their work more interesting or more dramatic than literal language which simply states facts.

ira [324]

Answer:

Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.

Explanation:

Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.

In the story, the great aunt <em>"Ma Tante"</em> is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down <em>"ghetto doctor's office"</em>. Another elderly that's treated unfairly is<em> "Mr. Charles Pemberton"</em> who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.

Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits<em> "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt."</em> Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the <em>"CARE-A-VAN"</em> volunteers by translating for them.

loris [4]

Answer: The king believed that his son had drowned.

Explanation:

We have learned previously through Prospero and the familiar spirit that is, Ariel’s conversation, that it was Ariel who caused the tempest which struck the ship transporting Alonso, Gonzalo, Sebastian, Ferdinand, Antonio, Stephano, and Trinculo, by making sure that they got safely to the island but that they were divided into small groups.

On another part of the island, Sebastian, Antonio, Alonso, Gonzalo, and other lords were giving thanks for their safety but were worrier about the fate of Ferdinand.

Alonso ended up in a group that had Gonzalo, Sebastian, Antonio, and they were afraid that Ferdinand may have been drowned. This made Alonso regrets marrying his daughter which was the reason they made the sea journey.
