In lines 9-12, symbolism is applied through the image of fire. The “glowing” fire signifies the narrator’s dimming youth, as its dull embers will soon expire and turn to “ashes.”

In line 4, Shakespeare uses personification, "sweet birds sang". Birds cannot sing but he was telling us that the birds were chirping and it sounded like a song.

In line 6 and 7, Shakespeare uses personification again. He says, "As after sunset fadeth in the west; Which by and by black night doth take away". This is a personification because the night cannot "take away the sun.

All of these figurative language examples make the poem easier to read and visualize what Shakespeare is saying.

Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Explanation:

Shakespeare uses plenty of figurative language in his sonnet "Sonnet 73." For example, he compares the yellowing of leaves and the inevitability of winter to the inevitability of death. Winter and death become intertwined and related to each other. A bare, ruined choir is also compared to the death and lifelessness. In the final lines of the poem, the speaker addresses his love and says, " This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, To love that well which thou must leave ere long." He is saying that love also dies, just like all the previous things he has discussed. All of these examples of figurative language and they aid in the understanding of the theme of finite-ness.

How do origin and trickster tales reflect the culture of the people living in North America before the Europeans arrived?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The themes explain spiritual beliefs and social norms of the society.

Explanation:

Every civilization has its tales. Of course, as each civilization has its own beliefs and norms, these tales can vary a lot despite often having some things in common.

Native American tales have survived thanks to oral storytellers. People would gather around a fire and listen to the storyteller, and then continue telling these stories until someone wrote them down.

Origin and trickster tales have survived exactly thanks to that. Origin tales are stories that tell about the origin of some feature of the natural or social world. Examples of Native American origin tales that have survived are the Salinan and Cherokee origin tales. They both exhibit the Native American tendency to locate spiritual power in the natural world.

When it comes to trickster tales, in the Native American literature, the trickster is best known as a shape-shifter. One of his main traits is ambiguity: he is often a creator and destroyer, a truth-teller and a liar. He is said to appear as some kind of a supernatural creature, usually playing an important mythological role in human creation.

Based on this information, we can conclude that the correct option is the first one.

Please answer this correctly
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:I believe the answer is likewise

Explanation:

First, does not make sense, If you read the sentence and put the word's into the sentence it just doesn't make sense.

On the other hand. It could make sense, if the following actions weren't so similar. On the other hand would've worked if Ernest left Paris for America, because then the two wouldn't be ending up in the same place therefore concluding it not to be similar.

Likewise, to me, makes the most sense, because the passage implies that the two people end up in the same place which being Paris.

Please forgive me if I am wrong, I only mean to give advice to try and help. Thanks!
