According to the excerpt from Four Skinny Trees"? Here are the lines: They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them. Four skinny trees with skinny necks and pointy elbows like mine. Four who do not belong here but are here. Four raggedy excuses planted by the city. From our room we can hear them, but Nenny just sleeps and doesn't appreciate these things.

The figurative language in these sentences is an example of a..

Answer:

Personification

How does jack londons essay "the human drift" compare to other naturalist works such as Stephan cranes short story" the open boo
saw5 [17]
Both works examine the position, roles, and aspirations of humans in the natural world, ruled by natural principles. In "The Human Drift" London talks about humanity's enormous and continuous effort to sustain and survive, in the face of natural phenomena, which are not always friendly - or rather, they are completely indifferent toward people, and the circumstances often have hostile appearances. People have migrated to better places, in search of food; they have fought and killed animals and other people; they have improved their means of growing food; they have industrialized; they have invented socialism; they have improved war technology. Eventually, they will have to stop breeding, as to prevent overpopulation. But whatever they do, they will have to go extinct, just like so many times in the unknown history. They may try to tame the nature, but they will never succeed.

Crane's story "The Open Boat" deals with the same topic: Man vs. Nature, or even better: Man immersed in Nature. The four people who survived a shipwreck are spending days and nights in a tiny boat, surrounded by the endless ocean. At first, they think Nature is punishing them, by letting them hope before it decides to drown them. Slowly, they start having a more accurate, stoic, existentialist view: Nature doesn't take them into account. They are absolutely insignificant. Whether they live or die is only a matter of chance. They will do their best to survive, of course; but they aren't able to tame the nature.
