The poetic device the speaker is using is allusion it this line. Option A is correct.

Allusion is a figure of speech that refers to a well-known story, event, person, or object in an attempt to make a comparison in the readers' minds. According to that definition, Bacchus, Satan, and the Hangman aren't actually characters in this literary piece of work, but the author is making a reference to them nevertheless.

The figurative language is a metaphor. That is because she didn't literally burn out by one fierce moment of fire, it's a metaphor to show the strong burst of emotions that she had at that moment that made her feel as if she was burning. It could mean either that she got angry or fell in love or anything similar.

Which of the options are used to provide direct characterization of Jane Eyre? select all that apply
Luda [366]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Jane words </em>

<em>C. Other words about Jane </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Direct characterization is a scenario in a story when the narrator talks about the character of a specific person within the story. Therefore, in the story of Jane, she is the narrator and the main character.

The direct characterization therefore helps the leader in understanding they are reading in the story and their attributes. It may also give the reader the first sight of the character thus helping in understanding the concept of the whole story and creating a morale of reading.

Excerpt from "The Raven"
Mashcka [7]

isnt it

Answer:

C. “But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, / And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,”

&

C. The rhyme gives the poem an even rhythm and maintains the tension.

Explanation:

1. None of the other options give as much tension as these lines do. The anticipation and reptition of the lines intensify the action of approaching a chamber door.

2. I feel as though the other options don't quite work as well as this one. A rhyme doesnt necessarily make a poem easier to remember, lines that are more 'significant' is just subjective, and each rhyme doesnt necessarily end an idea.
