Richard Connell uses personification often in his short story "The Most Dangerous Game." Which line from this excerpt is an exam

ple of personification? "I'll give him a trail to follow," muttered Rainsford, and he struck off from the rude path he had been following into the trackless wilderness. He executed a series of intricate loops; he doubled on his trail again and again, recalling all the lore of the fox hunt, and all the dodges of the fox. Night found him leg-weary, with hands and face lashed by the branches, on a thickly wooded ridge. He knew it would be insane to blunder on through the dark, even if he had the strength. His need for rest was imperative and he thought, "I have played the fox, now I must play the cat of the fable." A big tree with a thick trunk and outspread branches was near by, and, taking care to leave not the slightest mark, he climbed up into the crotch, and, stretching out on one of the broad limbs, after a fashion, rested. Rest brought him new confidence and almost a feeling of security. Even so zealous a hunter as General Zaroff could not trace him there, he told himself; only the devil himself could follow that complicated trail through the jungle after dark. But perhaps the general was a devil-- An apprehensive night crawled slowly by like a wounded snake and sleep did not visit Rainsford, although the silence of a dead world was on the jungle. Toward morning when a dingy gray was varnishing the sky, the cry of some startled bird focused Rainsford's attention in that direction. Something was coming through the bush, coming slowly, carefully, coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come. He flattened himself down on the limb and, through a screen of leaves almost as thick as tapestry, he watched. . . . That which was approaching was a man. It was General Zaroff. He made his way along with his eyes fixed in utmost concentration on the ground before him. He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground. Rainsford's impulse was to hurl himself down like a panther, but he saw that the general's right hand held something metallic--a small automatic pistol.

In this (extremely long) passage, I found the line "night found him leg weary" to be an example of personification. This technique makes non-animate objects do human actions. Night can't actually find someone, so it is personification. Another example of this might be "the stars danced in the sky" since they can't really dance.

sladkih [1.3K]

The correct arrangement of the events chronologically in <em>To Build a Fire</em> is:

  • The man is given advice and a warning by the old timer about travelling alone in such low temperatures.
  • The man continues his journey up the left fork.
  • He arrives at the fork.
  • The man heads up the trail with the dog with only light supplies.
  • The man's foot goes through the ice and he is wet.
  • The dog puts its foot through the ice.
  • Now increasingly aware of the cold, the man lights a fire and eats his sandwich.
  • The fire is put out by snowfall from the tree above.
  • With great difficulty, he lights another fire.
  • The man tries to kill the dog.
  • The dog leaves.
  • The man freezes to death.

<h3>What is a sequence of events?</h3>

This is known to be the order in which events take place in a story.

Hence, we can the chronological order in which the story is told reveals the journey of the man with his dog, building a fire, and the sad turn of events which led to the death of the man due to the cold temperature.

Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

"Beatles' drummer, Richard Starkey, was born in Liverpool, England, so he is known to the world as Ringo Starr", has a clear and concrete writing error. Thus, the word "so" has no reason to be in said wording, as the fact that Richard Starkey was born in Liverpool is in no way a condition for the world to know him as Ringo Starr. In other words, the word "so" as a connector within the sentence does not follow logical parameters, as it does not deal with a cause-consequence situation.

Composition on traveling as a means of education
IgorC [24]
Travelling as a means of education means an educational trip is very useful. It enables most of the students to visit different places. And, an educational trip enriches the mind of student with knowledge and broadens their outlook. It enables the students to learn much about the world. Travelling is considered the best form of education. In fact, traveling allows a person to learn new things and know about different places. It helps oneself become more aware of the world and learn about different cultures, languages, and history. It also helps improve social skills and communication skills. You get to understand the real world and real people. By traveling, you can gain awareness about yourself and your personality. You become independent and self-reliant. Traveling alone helps you to be proactive and take control of your decisions. When you travel, you get to mingle with people around the world and learn about their actions that help develop compassion. Since traveling brings educational value, students are taken educational tours to help them enrich their knowledge. Overall, traveling is worth more than books to infuse practical learning and knowledge through life experiences.
