Since the speaker compares himself to a night owl and Wilson to an early bird without the usage of the words "like" or "as", this is an example of metaphor. The reader is obviously not actually a night owl, but is merely saying that he's more active at night.

Answer:

Hamlet was also basically forced into the duel in which he kills both Claudius and Leartes.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the story of a young prince Hamlet who wanted to avenge the murder of his father, King Hamlet. And in that process of trying to get revenge, he brought about the death of not only his enemies but also his own.

In Act V scene ii, we see Osric telling Hamlet and Horatio about the 'bet' that King Claudius had made about a duel between Laertes and Hamlet. Claudius has bet "six Barbary horses . . . six French rapiers and poniards with their assigns—as girdle, hangers, and so." This was to be given to any winner of the dozen rounds of which Claudius believes Laertes needed just three hits to defeat Hamlet.

And in that duel, Hamlet not only killed Laertes (with his own poisoned sword) but also Claudius by stabbing him with a dagger.

According to author Stephen Covey, effective communication is driven by:

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Seeking first to understand, then to be understood

Explanation:

Seek first to understand, then to be understood is the fifth habit Stephen Covey lists in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. He believes that to be the key to effective interpersonal communication. According to him, most people first want to be understood; to get their point across. That may lead to ignoring the other person completely, selectively listening while just waiting for a chance to reply, without any intent to truly understand. Before giving our opinion, we should listen carefully and try to understand the other person. As, according to Covey, many people don't have this habit, we can often hear someone (especially the youth) say that no one understands how they feel.
