Answer and Explanation:

In "Easter 1916" we can see figurative language through the use of metaphors. The author makes a strong use of metaphor when comparing stones to revolutionaries, intensifying the idea that just like stones, revolutionaries are immobile and therefore will remain constant and strong even if time passes. As we know, metaphor is a figure of speech that allows a non-implicit comparison between two elements. This metaphor is important in this poem, because the poem presents the moment when the Irish protested against England, in the second world war. By comparing Protestants with stones, the poet shows how they would not change their minds about England no matter what.

"The seconds coming" is a poem where Yeast shows the second coming of Jesus Christ to dominate the earth. Although the poem is different from "Easter 1916" it also presents metaphor as a figurative language. This metaphor is seen with the comparison between falcon and the falconer, reinforcing the idea that humans are controlled by something great. The metaphor can be seen again, when the poet compares the second coming of Jesus Christ with a "rough beast," showing that this will be a grandiose, yet frightening event. However, this poem also has a strong irony, which is not seen in "Easter 1916". The irony is seen in the phrase "the best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity" because it ironic religious concepts about how Jesus agrated in relation to the most beloved humans.

How does this quotation appeal to readers' emotions? It appeals to readers' delight by showing the joy of family life. It appeal
andrew-mc [135]

I looked this question up and found this excerpt it refers to. It is the following:

I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

Answer:

The quotation appeals to readers' emotions because:

B. It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.

Explanation:

According to the quotation by Dorothea Lange on her famous photograph "Migrant Mother", <u>the woman whose picture she took is suffering terribly. She has no money and barely any food for her children. We can't help but feel sympathy for her when we read they are surviving on frozen vegetables found in the surrounding fields and birds that the children kill. Many of us have experienced difficult times, but not many of us would have needed to sell the tires from our cars to buy food, or to live in a tent.</u>

Having that in mind, we can easily choose letter B as the correct option: It appeals to readers' sympathy by describing difficult times.
