Answer:

Denotative and literal

Explanation:

When we talk about the denotative and literal meaning of a word, we refer to the precise and literal definition of that word, without additional interpretation and without positive or negative associations of that word. These types of meaning are also known as the word's “dictionary definition.” The word “red,” for instance, has a denotation of “a color, being in the range between a moderate orange and russet or bay,” but it also may have different meanings, connotations, or interpretations (i.e. “anger,” “passion” or “violence,”) for some people.

 does anyone know the figurative language being used in women by alice walker. and what quote it is.
swat32

Answer:

Implied metaphor.

<em>"How they battered down </em>

<em>Doors </em>

<em>And ironed </em>

<em>Starched white </em>

<em>Shirts </em>

<em>How they led </em>

<em>Armies </em>

<em>Headragged generals </em>

<em>Across mined </em>

<em>Fields </em>

<em>Bo oby-trapped </em>

<em>Ditches"</em>

Explanation:

Alice Walker's poem "Women" is a poem about women in general and how they fight for their children's right to education. The poem is written in short, at times, monosyllable lines, where the speaker talks of mothers and their hard work to get an education for their children.

Figurative languages are the elements of writing that writers employ in their writing to give more 'color' and 'body' to their work. And in this poem, Alice Walker uses an implied metaphor. This element can be seen in the lines

<em>How they battered down </em>

<em>Doors </em>

<em>And ironed </em>

<em>Starched white </em>

<em>Shirts </em>

<em>How they led </em>

<em>Armies </em>

<em>Headragged generals </em>

<em>Across mined </em>

<em>Fields </em>

<em>Bo oby-trapped </em>

<em>Ditches</em>

Here, the speaker makes a comparison between the women/ mothers and several personalities like army generals, or army commanders, and other daily workers. These efforts by the mothers are for their children to <em>"discover books, desks, a place"</em> to get an education which they themselves weren't able to access.

Thus, the figurative language used in this poem is an implied metaphor.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-cratic means "a type of government". So, we know that "autocratic" is a type of government.

We also know that "auto" means "self". If you put "auto" and "cratic" together, you get a "self type of government".

So, in the reading, we can say that "autocratic" is a rule where only one person carries all the power in the government, like a dictatorship. We can also tell that an autocracy is a negative thing, as people are afraid of the government and there is political unrest.

Hope this helps!
