There are three hyperboles in this excerpt from "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note":

"They'll flock in droves". Here the word flock used as a verb means to gather together as a flock (word used to refer to a group of animals, specially birds). Therefore, the phrase is an hyperbole because it contrasts the idea of "a group of animals in a rush" to refer to "these rich Londoners" so as to cause a sense of exaggeration.

"I'm a made man forever". The use of the word "forever" here is used to add emphasis to the fact that the character will be a made man as long as he lives: everyone knows nothing lasts forever.

"In less than twenty-four hours London was abuzz!". Here the phrase "less than twenty-four hours" is employed to highlight how fast it took the rich Londoners to hear about the mine selling.

For example, the clock stopped at a certain time and the numbers would be the combination to get out. It would be interesting if they hated eachother before hand but that could turn out super cheesy.

what simile does elie wiesel use to describe moishe the beadle? given the information that moishe tries to share with the people

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Elie states that, "Physically, he was as awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile. As for me, I liked his wide, dreamy eyes, gaz-ing off into the distance." I think it is ironic that the person villagers regarded as a comic figure, of no consequence, should be the messanger of their fate.

What does the word mimetic tell us about the difference between novels and most of the literature of the 1800's

Effectus [21]

The term mimetic is associated with "imitation" so it might be said that during the 1800, literature tried to replicate or portray real life in the stories. that is to say, novels were based on realism so they were considered unique and a revelation because it was a new way of writing.
