The right answer you are looking for is denotation
The things that could be observed from a painting are that it is a <u>portrait of a man</u>, it shows<u> visible brush strokes</u>, and<u> displays bold colors</u>.
Even though there was no attached painting, we would be able to see these things within the painting. You can see what is contained in the painting, how it was painted, and what colors the painting is. However, you can not see when a painting was created or know that it is part of a large collection by simply looking at the painting.
The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, and round him wide the rising structure grows.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:
a. Strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms.
b. Size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.
Answer:
The author makes sudden actions of Bella that would create surprise and also be at suspense for the reader at the same time. The way people call Bella in a letter surprises her because it makes her special to someone. “I bend to retrieve it, surprised to see “My Bella” scrawled ornately across the front.” The author foreshadows to create a flashback of what happened earlier in the short story.
When the author states in the story “I look past him, but Abuela gasps and exclaims, “Alejandro, after all these years!” the author creates surprise and a feeling of the story's climax. When the author uses foreshadowing he makes the main character show emotion and express herself throughout the short story. Small actions like when Bella recognized who is writing to, make her think or foreshadow the past and then she gets surprised as she notices who is likely writing to her.
