Answer:

D. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven by greed and evil.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the excerpt, we see that Thoreau actually uses metaphor. He likens the government as a machine. As all machines have their friction, there is need for some good in order to counterbalance the evil. The author sees that when the friction comes is likened to when oppression and robbery are set in and organized.

Metaphor is actually a figure speech that is used to compare two things. It is done without the use of "as" and "like".

In The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, what's peculiar about the relationship between Mr. Enfield and Mr. Utterson?
Sophie [7]

The correct answer is A, they are friends, yet they have nothing in common. These two men are distant relatives who enjoy spending time with each other. They look forward to their long weekly strolls, in which they do not speak. In spite of not having much in common, they do have similar temperaments, a family trait. They both dislike gossip and prefer to contain their thoughts.

Besides, Utterson is the counterpoint to Hyde. They both have traits of coldness, although Utterson seems to also have "human" attitudes, not shown in his speech but in his actions. In addition, Hyde and Utterson like adventure, as opposed to Enfield, who is not inclined to it much.

Think of a movie you've seen that was based on a story you're already familiar with. Maybe you knew the story from
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Not a movie, but the Frankenstein musical did a pretty good job of  recreating the novel. I watched the movie years ago, but I barely remember it. All I know is that they cut out Henry Clerval and made Victor old. In the novel, Victor is in his early twenties, and so many of the movie remakes make him a stereotypical "mad scientist". That's why I like the musical better than I do the movies. He's played by Hunter Foster, and even if Foster is in his 50's, he still looks and sounds young. His voice perfectly fits Victor, in a sort of "prestigious scientist who needs to take a nap" way. Very specific, but it makes sense. Then there's Henry, who doesn't get a huge part, but he's not that important in the novel either. He's actually there, though, and that's what makes the musical so good! Plus, they stayed true to the novel and made the creature learn English. In so many other adaptations, they make the creature this eight foot tall man who can't speak, while in the novel he has a great dialect and talks better than most people I know. In the musical, they stay true to this and cast someone who has a deep, baritone voice to play him. The casting choices are amazing, the way they stayed with the novel is great, and even as a standalone show the music is wonderful.
