Excerpt:

"Bru-h Lizard and Bru-h Rabbit” from The People Could Fly.

Well, that lizard was a hard worker. He had a big sword he use to cut his crop. Sword knew how to work by herself and it cut so fine, there was nothin left, once somethin was cut. Bru-h Lizard speakin words to the sword and Sword do all the work. That's how it went.

Answer:

The lizard uses a sword to cut crops.

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to animate and inanimate objects i.e non-living things.

An example of personification in the excerpt above is, The lizard uses a sword to cut crops. It's practically impossible for a lizard or any other animal to use a sword in cutting crops because they lack the sense, ability and composure to do so.

Read this sonnet, and then complete the sentences that follows. Be not dismayed that her unmoved mind Doth still persist in her
motikmotik

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

1. English

Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.

2. abab bcbc cdcd ee

Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

3. lasting love

The poet uses phrases like "endure for ever" and "naught but death can sever" to show how long love can last.

4. metaphor

He is comparing the burning oak to the patience it takes when wooing. He does not use like or as which would indicate a simile. Also, the oak is not being given human traits which is required for personification.

5. knot

He compares the depth of love to a knot so tightly tied and tangled that it cannot be undone.
