Question

Read this sentence from the passage. If all of the stories were strung together, they would form a chain as long as the highway on which the Dust Bowl migrants traveled. How does the figurative language in this sentence contribute to the meaning of the passage

Answer 1

Answer:

Figurative language shows that if all immigrants told their stories, we would have pages and pages of narrative.

Explanation:

The figure of speech used in the sentence above is the hyperbole that is used when the author wants to exaggerate information. This figure shows how there are many immigrants who have suffered very difficult moments in their journeys away from their homeland, if each of them were to tell their stories, we would be listening to them forever and the story would have countless pages.
