Match the description to the word. 1. attributing human characteristics to inanimate objects hyperbole 2. blatant exaggeration s
masha68 [24]
The correct matching are as follows:
1. PERSONIFICATION: Attributing human characteristics to inanimate objects.
Personification is a part of speech which attribute personal nature to a non human object. It may also represents an abstract quality in human form. Personification is usually used in sentences in order to present situations more vividly so that others can understand clearly. Here is an example of personification: My alarm clock usually spring to life at exactly five o'clock every morning. In this sentence, 'spring to life' is a human characteristic, but in this sentence it is been attributed to an alarm clock.
2. HYPERBOLE: Blatant exaggeration.
A hyperbole is a part of speech which expresses exaggerated claims that are not suppose to be taken literary. In hyperbole, exaggeration is always used in order to emphasis the point that is been made. Here is an example of hyperbole: My car moves faster than light. The speed of light in a vacuum is the fastest in the universe at the rate of 186282 miles per second. Thus it a big exaggeration to say that a car is faster than light.
3. SIMILE: Comparison using 'like or as'
Simile is a figure of speech that compares two things which are not alike. Simile is typically used in sentences in order to make descriptions more emphatic. In sentences, simile usually use connecting words such as like, as,so, than, etc to make comparison.  An example of simile is this: Jenny is as tall as a giraffe.
4. IRONY: Discrepancy between what is said  and what is meant.
Irony is a figure of speech that uses words in such a way that their intended meaning is totally different from the actual meaning of the words. Irony usually shows the difference between what is seen and the actual reality. An example of irony is this: The bricklayer's hand was as soft as a rock.
5. METAPHOR: Comparison without using 'like or as'.
Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to compare two things that are not totally unalike. Metaphor used direct comparison without employing words such as 'like'and 'as'. Here is an example of metaphor: Jenny's mother is the light of her life. This sentence is comparing Jenny mother to light and it means that she is the source of happiness for her daughter.<span />

Why does virgil compel dante to learn by doing and breaking off a twig?
Alik [6]
While traveling through the Second Ring, Dante and Virgil come across a place with many dark trees, but no actual people. They can hear voices screaming in pain, but they can't see them. Virgil tells Dante to break off a twig from one of the trees, after which the tree cries in pain and starts bleeding. Virgil then explains that all of these trees are souls of people who've hurt themselves during life, those who have willingly discarded their own bodies and committed suicide. Thus whenever the tree is hurt (a branch broken off), they feel pain as if they were dismembered.
