Which literary device is most clearly used in this sentence?

English
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The literary device used here is Simile.

Explanation:

Sometimes, a figure of speech is used to juxtapose two unrelated things or ideas using the words "like" or "as". When that happens, it can be said that a simile has been created or used.

In the sentence above, we can clearly see "like" used to connect Sailing and Skating.

Other examples of Simile are:

i. As bold as a lion;

ii. Life is like a journey

Similies are related to metaphors in that all similes are metaphors but not all metaphors are similes.

An example of a metaphor is:

His blood was a river gushing down his chest.\

Cheers

• When you think of the South, what comes to mind? And why?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

I think of slavery, the farms, and crops, home cooking, country, and blues music, and raised plantations. I think this is because of history where the South wanted to keep slavery for the plantations. The farms and crops are techinqually the plantations where slaves worked non-stop in harsh conditions. Home cooking is what a lot of Southerner people do in my opinion. I think of country and blues music because of Tennessee.
