Main ideas are explained and devoloped with supporting details.

Supporting details give readers supporting facts, details, and examples to support a main idea, or a point that the author wants to get across. Main ideas are not effective without supporting details. You can not have supporting details without a main idea to support.

In 100 words or less, explain the difference between indirect and direct characterization and provide one example of each.
Drupady [299]
Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.

matrenka [14]
The boys steal Piggy's glasses.

Piggy's glasses help him see; symbolically, they represent the ability to think clearly and logically.

By stealing Piggy's glasses, the boys descend further into savagery; they lose the ability to think rationally and logically.

Describe how Wheatley uses figurative language and symbolism to convey her message about God in "An Hymn to the Evening."
Lerok [7]

Answer and explanation:

In her poem "An Hymn to the Evening", author Phillis Wheatley uses the sunset and arrival of spring to "sing" to God - a hymn is a song or a poem dedicated to God. The speaker describes how the exploding beauty of the sunset fills her heart with gratitude. As the night comes, she is thankful to have lived another day, and also thankful for the rest she will have. She will wake up "refined", having spent the night in restful sleep, protected by God.

To convey such beautiful message, Wheatley uses figurative language. We can find metaphor and personification in the poem. A metaphor is a comparison  between two different things. This figurative device does not use words such as "like" or "as", it simply states that thing A is thing B. When the speaker compares our bodies to God's temples, she is employing a metaphor:

So may our breasts with ev'ry virtue glow,

The living temples of our God below!

Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics or abilities are attributed to objects or animals. It makes them seem wiser, as if they did something on purpose. In this poem, nature's purpose is most likely to glorify God:

Soon as the sun forsook the eastern main

The pealing thunder shook the heav'nly plain;

[...]

Soft purl the streams, the birds renew their notes,

[...]

Night's leaden sceptre seals my drowsy eyes,

The sun, the stream, the night are not living beings. Literally speaking, they cannot forsake, purl, or carry a sceptre - the sceptre itself is figurative. Personification is thus employed to give them qualities that make them sound capable of intent and reasoning.
