Answer:
Hi there!
My favorite sport is <em>-insert team sport-</em> I first knew about this sport because <em>-insert sibiling or friend-</em> played it before me. I wanted to follow in their footsteps when I was younger, so I started to play -<em>insert sport- </em> as well. I usually practice this sport about four times a week, but it is sometimes different depending on the week. This is my favorite sport because it is fun to play, it is a team sport, and because it teaches the players teamwork, which I think is very important in every day life. My favorite position on this sport is -insert position-. I like this because <em>-</em><em>give why-. </em>I would reccomend this sport to people, becuase it teaches you a good life lesson, while you are having fun.
try to change the words a little bit to make then 1. sound more like how you ususally write, and 2. so you dont get marked off for plagerism.
Let me know if you want a different sport or anything, this is just the only sport i play haha
Have a good day! :)
The correct answer is 2) Idiom
Idioms are literary devices and expression used to portray thoughts and ideas in a stylized and interesting, yet, non-literal manner. In the given sentence, the policeman is not implying that he literally "lay down the law". By "lay down the law" he means he had to take action and enforce the law. Another example of an idiom is the expression "under the weather". When someone says they are "under the weather", the meaning is not literal, what they actually mean is that they are sick or unwell.
“A contradiction between what is said and what is really meant”
One characteristic of Enlightenment that is seen in this excerpt is that people should be guided by the reason and not irrational fears, however serious they may seem to be. The protagonist/author of the diary seems to be the only cool-headed person in this terrible situation. Everybody else is freaking out, running about and screaming. He notices multiple times that nobody is making any effort to actually quench the fire. He is the one who goes to warn the king and suggests that houses should be pulled down. There is one very interesting remark about Lord Mayor, who is in a panic just like everyone else: "To the King's message he cried, like a fainting woman..." Misogyny aside, this comment shows the speaker's manly, reasonable, commendable attitude. He is an active person who does something to undo the damage, and not just a passive observer or a coward who runs away in panic.
A diary entry was a fitting form during the Enlightenment period because that was the first time that the words and opinions of a more or less ordinary person were deemed important. A diary has this risk of being a subjective collection of personal impressions. But Pepys' diary pretends to be highly objective because its author sees himself as a reasonable man, important in his own right, competent enough to keep a diary and record some important things that happen around him, to other ordinary people.
