What are Allusions and Hyperboles if you want to give an example you can.

English
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]3 years ago
7 0

An allusion is basically a way to indirectly say something, like "Chocolate was Sarah's Achilles Heel." is allusion, because the phrase "Achilles Heel" means weakness in short, and so its saying that chocolate is Sarah's weakness.

A hyperbole is an exaggeration, like if I said "I am so hungry I could eat a horse!" Obviously I'm not going to actually eat a horse, but its exaggerating how hungry I am

How are the pilgrims values and beliefs evident in the ways they respond to problems
AnnyKZ [126]
The Pilgrims were mentally prepared to bear and overcome any trouble that might come to them in the harsh environment, as they believed those were temptations that God lays on them. When faced with a disease and hunger during the first winter, they didn't despair. The only seven people who didn't get sick took over all the work.

1. How does the idea of Tan’s reconciliation with her mother’s informal English develop over the course of chunk 1?
Anvisha [2.4K]

From the short story "Mother Tongue"written by Amy Tan: Growing up, Amy struggled with the feeling of being in two language zones; on the one hand she used the simple English with her mother, who spoke English in an unclear  way , according to others, and on the other hand she used the English she learned at school which was more sophisticated. There were times when she felt embarrassed by her mother's use of English, especially when her friends could not understand what she was saying. But her mother knew English very well because she could read sophisticated books in English. It was only her delivery of the language that was lacking. Later in life, Amy came to accept the positive aspects that she learned from growing up in an immigrant family, from her mother, and be grateful for the teachings of her two worlds.
