Answer:

An extended metaphor is a metaphor that compares two unlike objects without using like or as, but unlike a metaphor it continues throughout the story to help develop the theme. The man with the umbrella in Sorrentino's "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is an example of an extended metaphor and he helps convey the central theme. The theme, in this case, is to not take for granted what you have because like your annoying siblings or overbearing parents you may not appreciate them in the moment but without them one would be completely devastated. The narrator also feels this way about the man with the umbrella since he hates and despises him at first but as time goes on, " I have recently come to the realization that I couldn't live without those blows." according to the text. Essentially, the audience realizes that you must not take even the things you despise for granted because in the end you will greatly miss it.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The answer is: <u>All of the above.</u>

Explanation:

All the options mentioned, apply for why would you have to or like to learn about your audience first?

Take a teacher's example in the first day of school, with new students, normally that first day a teacher plans a lesson is to build a rapport and/or get to know the students a bit and viceversa. As time passes, she/he pays attention to students' needs in order to plan her/his lessons, in this way, she personalizes more and and keeps the studets focused and motivated, also in her every day lesson plans she has to anticipate problems or controversies that could arise during the lesson, so as to avoid it (depending on the students) or to come up with a suitable solution. And well, the same happens with an audience in general, it is important to take into consideration all of the above options, in order to have a successful and interesting speech.

500 word essay describing the theme of O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi”

jek_recluse [69]

There are two theme's to "The Gift of the Magi" one being Love and the other being Sacrifice. "The Gift of the Magi" gives it's lesson by showing that even in rough times there is still some "Love" in everyone's hearts.

By having the setting at Christmas time it shows the comparison to the men's gifts to Jesus.

Here is something to work off of because i am guessing you did not read it and are hoping for someone to do it for you.

Actually read it if you want a good grade.
