In Great Expectations (1861), Pip, the main character of the story, claims that if Magwitch is caught (C) he will be tried and potentially hanged.
Abel Magwitch is an escaped convict that becomes Pip's friend. When Magwitch is arrested, Pip is conscious that Magwitch's fortune will go to the crown after his trial and he wishes the convict to die before he is hanged at the gallows in order for him not to die as an ordinary criminal. He even visits Magwitch, holds his hand throughout his trial, where he is condemned to death, and stands by his side when he dies before being hanged, fulfilling Pip's wish.
The setting can change in (this story?) many ways, such as winter, spring, summer, fall, daylight, night, and evening.
Answer:
Idiom
Explanation:
a simile uses like or as, alliteration is simalar sounding words like a "tongue twister" therefore it would be idiom :)
My view. When a country depends on another, it cannot have an independent course of action. Though Taiwan is not a country (according to the UN and most countries), Over 60% of her GDP depends on trade with China. It is moot at this point, whether she wants independence or not, she is already a part of China by anyone’s pragmatic definition. South Korea is also stuck. Maybe not as much, but stuck. South Korea’s major trading partner is China and her security partner is the US. As the US and China get more and more distant from one another, South Korea has to tread water very carefully, not wanting to aggravate either side. Unfortunately, what is evolving is like the ‘cold war’. The US and US allies pitted against Russia/China allies. Most countries are caught in the middle. Their economic fate might be decided by which side they choose. Most want to be neutral but independent in action.
