Personification, my hands hungry
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: A) Alliteration and C) personification.

Explanation: alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the beginning sounds of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. Personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification in the phrase "my hands hungry" because it is giving the hands (non human objects) the ability to be hungry (human characteristic). This phrase is also an example of alliteration because of the repetition of the "h" sound at the beginning of the words "hands" and "hungry."

I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!!!
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Pls give brainliest

Explanation:

The hero of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild (1903) is Buck, a St. Bernard/Scotch Shepherd dog. Late one night in 1897, a poor farm-worker steals Buck from his comfortable Northern California home and sells him as a sled dog. Set mostly during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897–98 in Canada’s Yukon Territory and Alaska, the novel chronicles Buck’s struggles and successes as he learns “the law of club and fang.”

Four years as a domesticated pet have not extinguished Buck’s primordial instincts or imagination. He courageously survives brutal cruelty from humans and the wilderness, and he becomes the leader of his dogsled team. He endures hunger and fatigue, learns to scavenge for food, and fights with a rival dog. Despite all this hardship, Buck is “mastered by the sheer surging of life” for the first time. Ultimately, Buck struggles between his love for his last master, John Thornton, and his desire to answer the mysterious call of his ancestors.

Drawing from Egerton R. Young’s historical narrative My Dogs in the Northland (1902), Jack London wrote The Call of the Wild in only one month. It first appeared in summer 1903 as a serialized work in the Saturday Evening Post. Although London was paid only $2,750 for the novel, he won instant literary fame and wide popularity.

London’s artistic intentions were often misunderstood. After one particular critique from President Theodore Roosevelt and naturalist John Burroughs, London wrote a letter of explanation: “The writing of [The Call of the Wild and White Fang] ... was in truth a protest against the ‘humanizing’ of animals.... Time and again ... I wrote, speaking of my dog-heroes: ‘He did not think these things; he merely did them’... These dog-heroes of mine were not directed by abstract reasoning, but by instinct, sensation, and emotion, and by simple reasoning.”

For this, and for London’s vivid description of the struggle for survival in a hostile environment, generations of children and adults have found The Call of the Wild an unforgettable adventure.

Major Characters in the Book

The Dogs

Buck

The narrator tells the story from Buck’s point of view. Stolen from his California home to labor as a sled dog in the Klondike, Buck quickly learns to survive and triumph. In addition to his cunning, patience, and strength, Buck’s greatest quality is his imagination, which allows him to fight by both instinct and reason.

Spitz

This well-traveled animal—a big white dog from Spitzbergen, Norway—is a practiced fighter who hates Buck. Despite his greater experience, Spitz meets his match when Buck challenges his leadership in a fight to the death.

Dave

The greatest desire of this gloomy, morose dog is to be left alone. Although he sleeps at every possible moment, he surprises Buck when they are first harnessed as a team: Dave loves his work and becomes a fair, wise teacher.

Sol-leks

His name means “the angry one,” an apt description of his feelings whenever another dog approaches from his blind side. Like Dave, Sol-leks wants to be left alone, loves his work, and quickly teaches Buck the best ways to work as a team.

The Humans

Judge Miller

Buck and his father, Elmo, were the prized pets of this kind-hearted judge who owns a large ranch in northern California’s Santa Clara Valley.

Manuel

This underpaid worker cannot support his wife and children. Motivated by easy money, he steals Buck one evening and sells him as a sled dog during the 1897-1898 Klondike Gold Rush.

The “man with the red sweater”

Never named, this man becomes the embodiment of one of the most important lessons Buck ever learns: In the quest for survival, the “law of club and fang” reigns supreme.

Perrault and François

These intrepid French-Canadian couriers bear important dispatches for the Canadian government, so they are happy to find a dog as strong as Buck. They are never cruel to their dogs, and Buck grows to respect their kind severity.

Hal, Charles, and Mercedes

A mixture of selfishness, greed, and incompetence distinguishes these middle-class Americans as some of literature’s most memorable antagonists. Hal’s ruthless beating of Buck is sure to awaken the reader’s desire for justice.

John Thornton

Thornton rescues Buck, and this man’s kindness and love heal more than the dog’s physical wounds. Master and dog save each other repeatedly.

Read the two passages from Sugar Changed the World. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their s
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:  

Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude.

Explanation:  It is difficult to say for sure because everything is run together. It is difficult to see where the first article ends and the second one begins.

The following sentence, however, could support the choice: Both passages use evidence to develop the claim that the general public needed to know about the terrors of involuntary servitude.

"it also gave the antislavery forces an opportunity. If they could reverse the flow—make the horrors of slavery visible to those who benefited from it—they might be able to end the vile practice forever."

Together with the part about Equanio's memoir, there is support for this choice.

Sorry, i can't be more helpful.

Another possibility:

Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement. Support:  It seems that the early section  "In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever." and "Clarkson brandished whips and handcuffs used on slaves; he published testimonials from sailors and ship doctors who described the atrocities and punishments on slave ships." from the end support this possibility-- but THIS passage does not say that viewpoints have changed.

2. Which sentence is punctuated correctly?
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

B. The meeting was only supposed to be for an hour; however, it ran for nearly 3 hours.

Explanation:

A semicolon is most commonly used to link (in a single sentence) two independent clauses that are closely related in thought. When a semicolon is used to join two or more ideas (parts) in a sentence, those ideas are then given equal position or rank. Use the semicolon if you have two independent clauses <em>connected without a conjunction</em>. Also use the semicolon when you already have commas within a sentence for smaller separations, and you need the semicolon to show bigger separations.
