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>

Why does guck decide to steal back the sisters money? What is it about them that he has rarely encountered in other people?

krek1111 [17]

Why does Huck decide to steal back the sisters' money? What is it about them that he has rarely encountered in other people?

They are orphans who are about to lose their homes.

They are kind, generous, and friendly to him.

They are much younger than he is and will be sent away.

They are better off financially than most people.

We can actually infer here that Huck decides to steal back the sisters' money because he saw that Dauphin doesn't deserve it. Huck then hides it in a coffin.

The thing about them that he has rarely encountered in other people is that they are orphans who are about to lose their homes.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>What is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?</h3>

"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is actually known to be a novel that was written by Mark Twain. It was published first in 1884.

We see that Huck actually saw that Dauphin didn't actually deserve the money.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

The president of the company was attending the mandatory sales meeting. Which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sent

denis-greek [22]

I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:

A. noun clause

B. verb phrase

C. adjectival phrase

D. adverbial clause

Answer:

The underlined phrase is a:

B. verb phrase

Explanation:

A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:

- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"

- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"

Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".
