Answer: The meaning is that the passage of time is inevitable, and with it, the feeling of forgetting will happen. The presence of oblivion is present in us like heaven every day, and it occurs in all spaces.

Answer:

The simile establishes a comparison relationship between two images, the use of "what" allows connecting different elements to offer a new way of understanding the poem.

The meaning is that the passage of time is inevitable, and with it, the feeling of forgetting will happen. The presence of oblivion is present in us like heaven every day, and it occurs in all spaces.

In " the veldet," author Ray Bradbury repeatedly uses personification to give human traits to the Happylife Home operating syste
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that Personification is a figurative expression that describes a thing, animal, or inanimate object in human traits to enhance the description of the object and give distinct characteristics to the narrative.

Hence, In "The Veldt," author Bradbury uses personification when he writes,

1. "George Hadley walked through the singing glade and picked up something that lay in the corner near where the lions had been."

Here, the "glade" is personified. Because ordinarily, the glade is just an open space surrounded by wood. But the author is describing it with human traits as "singing" glade.

2. "And although their beds tried very hard, the two adults couldn’t be rocked to sleep for another hour."

Here the beds are personified. Because ordinarily "bed" is just a piece of furniture with foam to sleep. So when the author described the "beds" to have "tried very hard" this is an example of personification.

What did we learn about the character Curley in chapter 2 and why is it important to the story (Of mice and men)? Explain
Yuri [45]

Answer:

He is described as “a thin young man with a brown face, with brown eyes and a head of tightly curled hair” which is why he is called Curley.  Curley is described as dressing in a somewhat aristocratic way, as if to separate himself from the lowly ranch hands. The glove is to keep his hand soft for his wife. Curley is the boss's son, and because his father only appears once, Curley is the main representative in the novella of the land-owning class. When this revenge plan fails and he loses face, Curley picks a fight with the vulnerable Lennie to reassert his status.
