Full Question:

What type of figurative language is used in the first and second lines of "November" by Alice Cary?

A) Hyperbole

B) Simile

C) Onomatopoeia

D) Personification

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Personification

Explanation:

First, let's take a look a the referenced lines below:

"The robin will wear on his bosom"

"A vest that is bright and new"

Notice that the poet states that a bird will wear a vest. Ideally, only humans wear clothing.

This means that an animal has been ascribed a human attribute. Whenever this happens with an animal, place or thing, personification has been utilized.

So by way of definition, personification is a figurative language involving the attribution of human nature or character to an animal, place, or thing.

Another interesting example of personification is

"The summer is here. The sun gladly grins ear to ear."

The sun is an inanimate object it is not supposed to be able to grin or be glad. But the meaning is not lost on the reader because, unlike winter, during summer, there is a lot of sunlight.

  • We couldn't have opted for Hyperbole. This is simply creating an impression by exaggeration. Please see: brainly.com/question/20767765
  • We also couldn't have opted for Simile because there was no comparison in those lines. Please see:  brainly.com/question/20767765
  • Onomatopoeia is the wrong answer. It is a literary device wherein words which imitate the natural sound of an animal or a thing is used to create a more effective description. See definition here: brainly.com/question/21505822

To Kill a Mockingbird (Chapter 19) - What examples does this chapter provide of characters practicing empathy? Which characters
Reptile [31]

Answer:

What examples does chapter 19 provide of characters practicing empathy

In this chapter Jem, Scout and Dill are the characters that practice empathy. When the trial of Tom Robinson was about to start, Jem, Scout and Dill snuck into the courtroom. They were not supposed to be there.

Which characters are able to ""climb into the skin"" of others and ""walk around in it""?

Boo Radley, Atticus Finch and Tom Robinson are all victims of prejudice, and all three characters are plagued by this.

How do they respond to others as a result?

It affects them all differently; crippling them and disabling them from acting as they wish

What are the consequences

These characters suffered due to the prejudice that they face. For instance, the first character Boo, is excluded and always kept away from society by his father who locks him up. It is obvious that Boo suffers from lack of socialization and in addition to his cruel father, he grows up to be an antisocial individual who is lonely. Atticus on the other hand has to confront a mob that is ready to kill Tom and he puts his life in danger. He also suffers the lack of approval by his fellow white folks. Furthermore, his looks have made the town to brand him as evil. This social discrimination makes him a victim because when he is claimed to be the one causing evil, the children, as well as adults, dislike him. He thus suffers emotionally.

A mean (also known as average) is adding up all the numbers you have and then dividing it by how many numbers you had. Tara says the mean is 6. When you add these numbers up you have 30 and there are 5 numbers. When you divide 30 by 5 you get 6, therefore Tara is correct.
