Answer:

C: a reference to a familiar literary or historical person or event, used to make an idea more easily understood

Explanation:

Allusion is a literary device used to make a reference to a lake or someone known to the reader or the public that is consuming the established media. The allusion is placed to increase public understanding, making a clear and well-defined reference.

An example of this is: "When I left for work, the day was so dark, it seemed like a setting for a short story by Edgar Alan Poe."

Choose a situation--either an experience you have had or one you have read about--and write about it from two different perspect
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The situation described below occurred when I needed to have an injection in the eyelid.

Explanation:

I had a cyst on my right eyelid and I had to go to the doctor to resolve this, as the cyst was very large and was making it difficult for my eye to move.

Once there, the doctor said that this would be easy to be solved, I would only need to have an injection in the place where the cyst was located. At this point, I will narrate my experience from two different perspectives.

  1. The moment I heard that I was going to have an injection in the eyelid, I thought the doctor was being unfair in putting me through this torture and so much pain. I felt victimized and didn't want to believe I was going to go through this. I was so nervous that I thought of crying right there like a spoiled child. I didn't want to want to take the injection and I was assessing the situation from the perspective of not wanting to feel pain.
  2. However, after a while, I started looking at the situation from the perspective that this was a treatment that I needed to undergo in order to be cured. At that moment, I realized that the injection would not be the end of the world, it would be quick and provide relief to my eye, allowing me to be normal again. With this perspective I went to take my injection with courage and motivation.

The change in perspective made me face the situation with less stress and with an objective in mind, this made the situation more pleasant than I imagined, in addition to making me think with more rationality, responsibility and maturity.

NISA [10]

Depending on the shading of the face, the expressions can drastically change, as well as how people perceive the structure of the face to look like.

Take the last face and compare it to the middle face. The last face looks rounder, but also as if it's mad. Looking at the middle face, The jaw is defined more, and the expression compared to the last face is softer. Compare all of these faces to the first face, and the first face's shape is way more defined than the others. Shading is seen on both sides of the face, giving it more depth.

hope this helps you get a good grade lol
