c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.

Answer: In the story "The Myth of the Latin Woman" there are several stereotypes described about women of Latin descent. The writer, Judith Ortiz Cofer, describes some situations that a woman goes through in her life and how she is being stereotyped in the Anglo-American culture.
The different kinds of Latina women in the story are; housemaids, domestic staff, women who are "sexually expressive," that the women are all singers and people start singing songs like La Bamba when they are around, the woman in the story is called "Evita" at a bar only because she is a Latino. Other kinds are the Latino women dress in many layers, wear a lot of jewelry, and play "dress up" colorful clothing only.
The main point of the story is that for a Puerto Rican woman is the "island traveled with you" wherever you go.
