Answer:

The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.

Which literary device does the underlined portion of the text most clearly show?
Alja [10]

Answer:

B) Flashback

Explanation:

I have found the sentence that is missing in your question. Also, I think that the sentence is not written correctly but I cannot find from which story it comes from.

”If she close her eyes, she down from a nearby mountain and chasing her family.”

  • In this sentence we can see a flashback as a literary device because the narrator is describing us a situation from the past in which he has the ability to remember it trough closed eyes.

Flashback are often shown in literary work as interruptions where writers are showing action that happened in the past because in that way they are providing context to some events or narrative that will happen in the future.

Read the following paragraph from John Muir's "The Calypso Borealis" and pay close attention to the words in bold. In one paragr
gayaneshka [121]
The mood that these words help create is one of despair and difficulty. Clearly the narrator is struggling, he actually uses the words "difficult" and "struggling" clearly within his paragraph. Other words that contribute to this mood of despair are "fear", "faint", and "hungry". A person usually only feels these things and discusses them when they are in a place that is dangerous and that they have no real hope of getting out of.

Make a written reflection on love​
frozen [14]

Answer:

Love is beautiful to some people, some people have different experiences from love. But it's both for some people and love can make you a better person. You can love someone and not know it. You can love people in different ways. Sometimes you can lose people that you love and you realize that you loved them more than you thought. You can love someone and fight for them in a positive way or you can fight for them in a toxic way. But love can be a beautiful thing and it can be a toxic thing some people don't know the difference.
