Examine Sam’s use of the word “questionizin’” on page 63. Vernacular language, like figurative language, often has nuanced meani

Explanation:

The question is about Sam Watson, a character from the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

This novel is filled with vernacular language, as a part of the setting of the story.

Questioning means doubting a validity of something, demanding a proof, querying.

Sam Watson, in this particular situation, used the term "questionizin" as a synonim for "asking" ("Ah'm questionizin' you!")

Although both words have the same root (question) their meanings slightly differ, as shown, but in spite of that difference, Sam's sentence can be understood in a proper context.

Write a descriptive paragraph about your favorite fictional character. Use at least three metaphors
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Hi Aarroy,

Who is your favorite fictional character? It doesn't have to be someone from a classic novel unless your teacher specified. It can be a character from a movie you love etc.

In order to write a "descriptive" paragraph, all you have to do is describe the character you choose using vivid language. For instance, if I was writing about Darcy from Pride and Prejudice I could write;

<em>"He has silvery blue eyes and an intimdating stature."</em> etc.

Just write about your character's appearance as well as his personality.

Metaphors are comparisons that do NOT use <u>like</u> or <u>as</u>. For instance, I could write:

<em>"Darcy's personality is an onion; with an outward appearance that first appears cold but whose inner layers reveal his insecure and fragile nature."</em>

I know that sounds like a mouthful, but I am comparing Darcy's personality to an onion without using like or as, which is a metpahor.
