Question 4: simile

The simile in the excerpt is "His beard was as white as snow." A simile is a comparison between two things using like or as. In this simile the color of his beard is compared to the snow. As to the other options, personification is giving a nonhuman thing human-like traits. Everything in the excerpt is human. Allusion is a reference to another literary work. There is no reference. Metaphor is a comparison between two things without using like or as. This uses as so it is a simile and not a metaphor.

Question 5: He plans to pretend that he has gone mad.

When Hamlet talks about "an antic disposition", he means that he is going to change his mood to one of madness. It is important to remember that mad actually means insane or crazy, not angry.

Question 6: Hamlet is saying that his madness changes like the weather, and that he is only mad some of the time.

In this piece of dialogue Hamlet is speaking of his madness like it's the wind. The wind changes directions just like his madness can change. He is trying to tell his friends that his madness is not constant but instead changes.

What makes Holden depressed in Catcher in the Rye? Can you give a page number and quotation?
AnnyKZ [126]

Holden gets depressed because of fake behaviors. In the beginning of the novel, Holden describes how it makes him depressed when the headmaster only talks with the parents of the students if they are good-looking. He explains it in this following quote:

I can’t stand that stuff. It drives me crazy. It makes me so depressed I go crazy. I hated that goddam Elkton Hills (Page 13)


Holden became sad in the novel when his mother gave him the skates which was in wrong size:

One thing about packing depressed me a little. I had to pack these brand-new ice skates my mother had practically just sent me a couple of days before. That depressed me. I could see my mother going in Spaulding’s and asking the salesman a million dopy questions-and here I was getting the ax again. It made me feel pretty sad. She bought me the wrong kind of skates-I wanted racing skates and she bought hockey-but it made me sad anyway. Almost every time somebody gives me a present, it ends up making me sad (Page 37,38)


Holden also disapproves the tourists who want to see the show in the first place. He considers it naive because these people think that they are getting somewhere with this, in his opinion they are not actually.


And that business about getting up early to see the first show at Radio City Music Hall depressed me. If somebody, some girl in an awful-looking hat, for instance, comes all the way to New York- from Seattle, Washington, for God’s sake-and ends up getting up early in the morning to see the goddam first show at Radio City Music Hall, it makes me so depressed I can’t stand it (Page 53)

My teacher wants us to write about what it means to love, be humble, and show kindness. I need help, don’t know what to write ab
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Showing love, humbleness, and kindness are all traits a healthy relationship should hold whether between friends or lovers. Love is more than what many people think it means. Love is a peaceful bond between people(s) and can heal a broken relationship/friendship or strengthen one. Love is not just something you can just stir up. It isn't chemistry. It is everything good that lies between friends or lovers. Humbleness is not being full of yourself. Putting yourself above others makes you selfish and in terms of love, pretentious. Being humble is a truly benefitting trait that everybody should hold dear in their conscience. Lastly, kindness is a rudimentary skill. Showing kindness can be done out of love or even humbleness. This can be shown in a maternal or paternal way or even a loving way. Most people take kindness for simple acts of good. Simple acts of good are kind but kindness is something that reaches much farther. Especially to those who might be ecocentric, jealous, or just flat out rude. Showing kindness can change someone else's views and influence them. These virtues help others out and make you a better person indeed.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The above sentence is an example of foreshadowing.

Explanation:

In the lines shown in the question above, Romeo shows himself to be apprehensive, as it seems that he feels that going to the Capulet party will cause him to end. This is an example of foreshadowing, since it is at the Capulet party that Romeo and Juliet fall in love and this love leads them both to death.

Foreshadowing is the literary resource where an author gives information about events that will happen later in the narrative.
