“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth. His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.

While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment.

What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework;  it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.

A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."

An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.

Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.

What type of source is this?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

  • <u>primary source</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> the term primary source is used to describe narrative reports that constutute first hand observers. In other words, contain statements from those who experienced or observed the said event.

Hence, by saying "<em><u>My</u></em><em> life on the Stage", </em>the title clearly shows that the narrator or author is speaking/writing from a firsthand perspective about events that occured in their life on the stage.
