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.

marin [14]

Answer:

George Orwell, pseudonym of Eric Arthur Blair, (born June 25, 1903, Motihari, Bengal, India—died January 21, 1950, London, England), English novelist, essayist, and critic famous for his novels Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-four (1949), the latter a profound anti-utopian novel that examines the dangers of totalitarian rule.

Born Eric Arthur Blair, Orwell never entirely abandoned his original name, but his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London, appeared in 1933 as the work of George Orwell (the surname he derived from the beautiful River Orwell in East Anglia). In time his nom de plume became so closely attached to him that few people but relatives knew his real name was Blair. The change in name corresponded to a profound shift in Orwell’s lifestyle, in which he changed from a pillar of the British imperial establishment into a literary and political rebel.
