HELP ME PLEASE AND THANK YOU

English
1 answer:
Viktor [21]2 years ago

Answer:

1. He looked solid like an oar, whereas Jesse...well, he was like water, thin and quick."  Simile

2. "The first week of August was reasserting itself after a good night's sleep." Personification

3. "A dragonfly, a brilliant blue jewel, darted up and paused over the lily pads, then swung up and away." Metaphor

4. "Now, remembering the visits of the night before, she smiled-and found that she loved them, this most peculiar family." Not figurative language

5. "I wanted to, heaven knows. But Winnie, how'd it have been if I had?" Idiom

Explanation:

Figurative languages are words used in ways that do not portray their regular meaning in order to make sentences clearer and more meaningful to the reader.

  • Simile is the direct comparison of objects that are completely different but have similarities. In the first sentence, the pronoun, "He" was directly compared to an oar.
  • Personification is the assignment of the attributes of non-living things to living things. The month of August was presented as a person that could reassert itself and also have a good night rest.
  • A metaphor is the indirect comparison of objects. In the third sentence, the dragonfly was indirectly compared to a brilliant blue jewel.
  • An idiom is a word whose meaning cannot be deduced from its regular usage. The idiom "heaven knows," symbolizes the truthfulness of what the speaker was saying.

Obviously the characters in Shakespeare's play find Mark Antony's speech really
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The reason why I personally disagree with this statement is that Mark Antony's speech wasn’t very good and the crowd was just written by Shakespeare to be suddenly convinced.

Explanation:

if you were to remove the easily swayed audience and replace it with a more objective audience,Mark Antony's speech would not still stand up as a convincing work of rhetoric.

The reason why I personally disagree with this statement is that Mark Antony's speech wasn’t very good and the crowd was just written by Shakespeare to be suddenly convinced. So I feel if the crowd were actually normal people the story could be different they wouldn’t be definitely so .

Answer:

B. to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion.

Explanation:

The lines present in the question were taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet 130. <u>The two lines at the end, or the final couplet, are structured in a different way from the others because their purpose is to lend impact to the sonnet's conclusion. Throughout the poem, the speaker is "criticizing" the woman he loves. </u>While Petrarchan sonnets were usually used to elevate women to an impossible status, comparing them to natural elements and concluding that they were always more beautiful, Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 does the opposite. The woman is a normal one, not more beautiful, sweeter, nor better smelling than anything else. <u>Still, at the final couplet, after all that criticism, the speaker says he loves her. Not only does he love her, but he won't lie about her. He loves her for who she really is.</u>

How different do you think Columbus's journal would have been if he had written it only for personal use and not for an audience
Ede4ka [16]

Answer and Explanation:

Colombus' writings show a commercial look at the discovery of the new continent. Colombo needed to show that his exploratory trips were worthwhile and deserved the monarchs' investment. For this reason, he wrote information that showed how profitable the new continent was. He describes the location for commercial purposes and would be relevant to the monarchy, but these reports would have been different if he had written the reports for personal use. In this case, Colombus would present more contemplative information and describe the new continent with the beauties and curiosities that he found both in relation to the landscape and the native peoples.
