Read these quotations from Douglass' autobiography."to drink the bitterest dregs of slavery"". . .the dark night of slavery clos
Anna [14]

Answer:

The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.

Explanation:

<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:

- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile

- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor

The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars,  I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.

<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>

Look out of the window and tell me what you see choose the mood of the unlined verb
shusha [124]

The verbs "look" and "tell" have imperative mood, while the verb "see" has mood indicative.

We can reach this conclusion because:

  • The indicative mood is presented when a verb is being used to issue an order or a request.
  • The indicative mood is presented when the verb is being used to describe a fact, an action that is taking place.

With that, we can see in what the verbs "look" and "tell" are being used in the sentence to describe an order that the speaker is doing, and therefore, these two verbs have imperative mood. On the other hand, the verb "see" indicates an action that will occur, being in the indicative mood.
