Answer:

Summary Act II

Summary

John Proctor sits down to dinner with his wife, Elizabeth. Mary Warren, their servant, has gone to the witch trials, defying Elizabeth’s order that she remain in the house. Fourteen people are now in jail. If these accused witches do not confess, they will be hanged. Whoever Abigail and her troop name as they go into hysterics is arrested for bewitching the girls.

Proctor can barely believe the craze, and he tells Elizabeth that Abigail had sworn her dancing had nothing to do with witchcraft. Elizabeth wants him to testify that the accusations are a sham. He says that he cannot prove his allegation because Abigail told him this information while they were alone in a room. Elizabeth loses all faith in her husband upon hearing that he and Abigail were alone together. Proctor demands that she stop judging him. He says that he feels as though his home is a courtroom, but Elizabeth responds that the real court is in his own heart.

what type of figurative language is It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that, if I had
Ann [662]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What type of figurative language is "It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler´s Germany. But I am sure that, if O had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal", would be, Allusion.

Explanation:

This particular excerpt comes from Martin Luther King´s "Letter from Brimigham Jail" when Dr. King is being accused of injustice in his attempt at aiding the cause for the Civil Rights Movement. The speech that is born from his time in jail, is probably one of the most literary-rich texts ever written, with a lot of figurative language having been used by Dr. King, in his attempt to sway people, and convince them to see, the righteousness of his cause. Figurative language is a technique in literature, and writing, that serves as a means to indirectly express a specific purpose, but through subtle, and sometimes hidden, symbols, words, images, or other such techniques. Figurative language seeks to engage the creative and interpretive mind of an audience or reader and to stimulate their capacity to feel moved by the messages being sent through the senses. In this excerpt, Dr. King uses a particular figurative language device called Allusion, which is literally a device in which the writer uses historical data, facts and stories, in order to convey a specific message to the audience. By mentioning Hitler, and Nazi Germany, Dr. King alludes to the American people to compare the two cases: the African American Civil Rights cause, and the situation of the Jews unjustly punished by the Nazis, and helps Americans to have a historical reference that will convince them of the need to support the Civil Rights cause.
