It was a hot and dry last August when I realized that I was tired of summer. On that day I came to the conclusion that summer day's were too warm, long, and too sunny. so I decided to get into my car and drive to the mountain for some cool air and shady trees, which I love. It was the best decision I made all summer
The correct answer is: A single idea.
In writing, the rule: "one idea per paragraph" should apply. The whole essay presents a main idea or main topic and this will be supported all throughout the essay. One idea should be presented in each paragraph and support it with details. This way, your writing will be organized and you won't be confused.
Answer:
The figurative language used in the stanza is: alliteration.
Explanation:
Alliteration is a literary device that repeats consonant sounds at the beginning of words that are close to each other in a structure. A simple example would be a well-known tongue twister: She sells seashells by the seashore (the /s/ sound is repeated).
In the stanza we are analyzing here, alliteration takes place when the author repeats the sound represented by the letter "h":
<em>In the silence </em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>h</em><em>as </em><em>h</em><em>eard</em>
We have three words in a row beginning with the same consonant sound. Thus, we have an alliteration.
The stanza is an excerpt from the poem "The D.um.b Soldier," by Robert Louis Stevenson.
