Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

In "the gift of the magi", the narrator, like a comfortable, old storyteller, explains and describes the fictional account of Della and Jim at Christmas time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One of the ways in which O. Henry creates suspense and tension in the story "The Gift of the Magi" is by using what many story writers, including screen writers, which is called as "ticking clock."

Another way by which suspense is created in the story by the narrator is  when Della got pair of tortoise shell combs as a gift, but didn't expect to receive them as a gift and she did not know whom did she get those from. So these were two situations of suspense in the story.

People who complain that video games involve too much sitting are probably old. They probably don’t know very much about gaming,
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Video games make people inactive.

There are video games for sports and dancing.

rude

Explanation:

A counterclaim is a claim that states the opposite of what the writer is arguing. In this case, the writer is saying that the opposition says that video games involve too much sitting, which tells us that the counterclaim is that video games make people inactive.

The evidence the author provides to weaken the counterclaim is games that involve physical activity, such as dancing or sports related games.

The tone of the rebuttal is rude. The author states that the opposition is "probably old" and that they "don't know very much about gaming," which is another way of calling them uninformed.

Hope this helps :)

Which literary device is used in this excerpt from Book 24 of Homer's Odyssey to describe Ulysses’s happiness?
denis-greek [22]
From research, i saw the same question with the excerpt:
<span>He sate, and eyed the sun, and wish'd the night; Slow seem'd the sun to move, the hours to roll, His native home deep-imaged in his soul. As the tired ploughman, spent with stubborn toil, Whose oxen long have torn the furrow'd soil, Sees with delight the sun's declining ray, When home with feeble knees he bends his way To late repast (the day's hard labour done); So to Ulysses welcome set the sun;
</span>
The choices are:
<span>simile
epic simile
metaphor
epithet
</span>
So the answer is "EPIC SIMILE"
