It should be what the text is mostly about. The authors purpose is the main idea of the text, or just the idea of what the author is writing. So what the text is mostly about is the authors purpose.

Answer:

Well, this is a tricky question for sure so I believe it is: What is this text mostly about? I believe this because you must read the passage first to see what it is talking about to find the purpose of this text and possibly the central idea.

How does the poet's use of figurative language in lines 9–14 impact the meaning of the poem? Include one example from the text t
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Where had I heard this wind before change like this into a deeper roar?"

This quote allows the reader to hear the wind howl as it blows over the hill

Sets the sinister tone of the poem in that life around him is mutating into darkness

We associate loud wind with being scared, so Frost uses this to scare the reader; the reader is scared for the main character's future happiness and feels empathy in discouragement for the main character

Imagery

Personification

Explanation:

Figurative language, on the other hand, is the use of words to intentionally move away from their standard meaning. If I were to say, 'At the end of the play Caesar kicks the bucket,' I wouldn't mean that Caesar had actually kicked a pail. I would mean that he died, because to 'kick the bucket' is a type of figurative language that uses those words to mean something beyond the literal. Since poetry's life blood is figurative language (notice my own use of figurative language), poetry can be challenging for some readers. I'm going to show you some ways to make it easier.

When it comes to literary devices that fall into the category of figurative language, there are too many to list in this lesson. You have some common ones, like metaphor, and some rarer ones, like metonymy, but instead of examining each individual device, let's look at big categories. Some figurative language offers comparisons, some uses expressions, and other figurative language exaggerates or understates a writer's idea.

Sampson and Gregory. What is the effect of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The beginning of the play "Romeo and Juliet" highlights the level of hatred that Capulets have for Montagues and vice-versa. This hatred is reveled through the words exchanged between two servants of Capulet, Sampson and Gregory. The hatred was not because of their personal reasons but was the result of the decades of differences among the families. Both of them discussed about their wish of torturing Montague men and harassing Montague women. They jump into a fight with two Montague servants. The fight was initiated and insulting remarks were exchanged by both the groups. This was interrupted by other kinsmen among whom some wanted to bring peace while some forced to keep the war going on among the families. This banter between the two families presents the picture of rivalry existing between the families. Shakespeare introduces to the concept of rivalry in the very first Act. The conclusion can be derived about the Capulets through this event that they wanted to initiate war and were never in support of ending the war.
