Which type of figurative language is Bradstreet using in these lines from "Upon the Burning of Our House?"

English
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in these lines is:

B) Metaphor or extended metaphor.

Explanation:

<u>Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. An extended metaphor happens when such a comparison continues throughout a series of lines in a poem. In Bradstreet's poem, we have the extended metaphor in which Heaven is compared to a house and God to an architect. Since this comparison lasts for at least four lines, we can say it is an extended metaphor. </u>Bradstreet wrote this poem after a fire destroyed her house and her belongings. What she means in these lines is that God has a better place waiting for her. Even though her home here on Earth has been destroyed, she has a permanent, strong home waiting for her. A home God Himself prepared for her.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Brutus has a guilty conscience, while Cassius does not seem to feel guilty at all.

Explanation:

Although he was part of the conspiracy to kill Julius Caesar, it seems that Brutus loved Caesar. They were great friends and trusted each other, but for being naive and foolish, he was tricked into taking part in the conspiracy telling himself that he was doing it for Rome.
