“Around me everything was dancing a dance of death.”

English
1 answer:
sesenic [268]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<em>"Around me everything was dancing a dance of death" </em>is a "personification" when it comes to<em> figurative language</em>. It means that people around Elie Wiesel were dying and nobody paid attention nor cared.

Explanation:

The situation above happened during "Night 84."

At this time, Elie was exhausted from marching in the snow that<em> he fell asleep for a long time</em> when they were finally told to rest. He was only awakened when <u>his father's frozen fingers patted on his cheeks.</u> His father wanted him to wake up because they were to march again.<em> Sleeping would mean dying in the snow. </em>Thus, Elie described the situation happening around him with the figurative language above. It is a personification because it gives human being personality to "death" that it can dance <em>("dance of death").</em>

What is one reason heart of darkness has been criticized as racist?
ankoles [38]

<em>"Heart of Darkness"</em>, written by Joseph Conrad in 1889 in England, has been criticized as racist <em>"for the way the author describes poorly every person he writes about and miscast the Europeans as the victims of colonization", </em>according to Nigerian Author Chinua Achebe.

In his essay <em>“An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s Heart of Darkness” </em>(1977), the Nigerian author commented that the vision of Conrad was as racist as other African stories on the 19th century.

Another argument the author expresses is that the book emphasizes Europe’s idea of superiority over Africa.

That is why some people consider "Heart of Darkness" as racist.

Inessa [10]
<span>Nature, for Bryant, does not have much consolation to offer to the reader who is experiencing depressing thoughts about death. The best Bryant can say is that it happens to everybody and that Nature will continue to exist in all its wonder and beauty after we are gone.</span>
