sts on two opposing mountains stood, Thick as the foliage of the waving wood; Between them an extensive valley lay, O'er which the gleaming armour pour'd the day, When from the camp of the Philistine foes, Dreadful to view, a mighty warrior rose; In the dire deeds of bleeding battle skill'd,

Answer:

  1. Thick as the foliage of the waving wood;
  2. O'er which the gleaming armour pour'd the day,
  3. Dreadful to view, a mighty warrior rose; In the dire deeds of bleeding battle skill'd,

Explanation:

Figurative language is a language that uses words that deviate from their literal meaning, authors often use it to represent something, give readers new insights and make the writing more colorful, interesting and memorable. All three lines contain examples of this type of language because none of them are written literally, but figuratively: Line 1 uses a simile to compare, line 2 uses personification and metaphor to describe the valley and the day, and line 3 uses imagery (a vivid language) to appeal to our sense of sight.

Is it more difficult to keep bias out of video than textual news? APEX
ANTONII [103]
This is a debatable topic and there are many claims/arguments that both sides can use, thus this is more reliant on the speaker's opinion. For example: It is more difficult to keep bias out of video because the video shows an like a car crash and it is blatantly obvious this "x" was at fault for the car crash. Or it is not harder but the same because the vocabulary and wording can be manipulated in ways to imply a different story than what has truly transpired. It is just pretty much up to you.

OLEGan [10]
Does his anger at them explain something about McCandless's choices in life? The anger in McCandless choices explain a lot of the choices he made, I think he felt almost betrayed or not good enough to his parents.

In the story "the devil and tom walker" when and where is tom's spirit seen again?
BARSIC [14]

Tom moves to Boston and becomes successful, exacting hard terms and showing no mercy to those in his debt. Growing older, Tom regrets his bargain and searches to find a way out of the pact. He becomes zealous in church attendance, prays loudly and publicly, keeps an open Bible in his home, and always carries a small one with him. He does not, however, give up his harsh business practices.

One hot afternoon, dressed in a white linen cap and silk morning gown, Tom is about to foreclose a mortgage. When the poor victim begs for a delay, reminding Tom of the money he previously made from him, Tom replies, “The devil take me . . . if I have made a farthing!” Immediately, there are three knocks at the door, and standing in the street is Old Scratch and a black horse.

Having left the small Bible in his coat and having covered the large one with the mortgage, Tom is helpless to prevent the devil from placing him on the horse, which gallops off down the streets of Boston. The next day, his house burns to the ground, and Tom never returns. It is said, however, that the swamp and Indian fort are haunted by a spirit on horseback wearing a white cap and morning gown. The story is so well-known, says the narrator, that it is the source of the New England saying, “The Devil and Tom Walker.”
