Answer:

The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.

Explanation:

Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -,  dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.

Nostrana [21]

Incomplete question. The full question read;

Identify the sentence type for each sentence.

  1. We visited the shelter where many animals are waiting for homes.
  2. We petted the cats, and they purred while the dogs barked in the other room.
  3. The dogs wanted to play, and we took them to a dog park.
  4. We spent an hour at the park, which was packed, and then we left.

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. <u>COMPLEX SENTENCE.</u> Note, a complex sentence is one that has an independent clause and may also have one or more dependent clauses. From the sentence,

  • the part that contains the Independent clause is:  <em>we visited the shelter.  </em>
  • the part that contains the dependent clause: <em>where many animals are waiting for homes.</em>

Note also that, a dependent clause is a clause that cannot stand on its own; since it does <u>not </u>express a complete thought.

2. <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> Note, a compound-complex sentence is one that usually <u>has at least 2</u> independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Because the sentences are usually longer, conjunction, comma, or semi colon is are used to link up the independent and dependent clauses together.

3. COMPOUND SENTENCE. This sentence, although not a compound-complex, but <u>only a compound sentence.</u> A conjunction "and" is used to link the clauses together.

4.  <u>COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE:</u> We note the following;

  • the part that contains the Independent clause is: <em>We spent an hour at the park. </em>
  • the part that contains the dependent clause is: <em>Which was packed, and then we left. </em>
  • the part that contains the conjunction is:<em> "and"</em>

1984 by George Orwell
Afina-wow [57]

Here is a suggestion for you:


When looking deeply into the characteristics of the character Winston Smith within the novel _1984_ by George Orwell, we can see that he has plain, ordinary, and everyday qualities that make this character quite believable in terms of “this could be a real person.”   As such, it is possible for anyone to see himself or herself as Winston Smith, which makes the novel all the more believable.  One thing you could do (because the directions you provided do not state the modern day equivalent needs to be famous; however, it is always best to ask your teacher if this would be okay) is draw correlations between yourself and Winston Smith.  Again, the characteristics of Winston are such that it is possible for most readers to see elements of themselves within the character of Winston.  As such, you could be quite possible for you to present arguments for you seeing yourself as a modern day equivalent, and you would obviously know yourself better than anyone in existence (or fictional) so much so that the arguments for this equivalence could be quite strong.
