The sentence from Mark Twain's "The Adventures from Tom Sawyer" (1876) that shows the storm as a symbol of Tom's conscience in chapter 22 is "He believed he had taxed the forbearance of the powers above to the extremity of endurance and that this was the result."

Tom Sawyer has a guilty conscience because he had witnessed the murder of Dr. Robinson, he was tempted by chewing tobacco and profanitythough he had tried to give them up; and a revival had come to won, so religion was everywhere. All these factors contribute to accentuate his guilty conscience and when the storm strikes, he thinks that it is a divine punishment for his deeds.

The part where it talks about Tom believing the storm hit to insinuate that God’s wrath was directed at him, is where we see that the storm represents Tom’s conscience. Hope this helps.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

b. Figurative Meaning.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up other than the literal meaning.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Hence, the difference for the literal, or usual meaning of a word is a figurative meaning.
