<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Polyneices being described as the "wild eagle screaming insults above our land" means that he was "wild" and "fierce" in battle. He is like an untamed creature who can defeat the opponent because of his fierce nature. Here Polyneices is referred by choragus that all those who fought against "Thebes" was punished by God. This also suggests that Polyneices was also punished by God for bragging of his strength. The chorus suggests that Polyneices is arrogant in nature.
I studied Of Mice and Men in my first year of high, so I apologise about my answer being weak from now. However, I highly recommend you use BBC BITESIZE for help or SPARKNOTES which give in depth resources to aid in analysis and the commentaries Steinbeck makes.
Migrant workers were ambitious to attain their American Dream, the small farm house with the animals being George and Lennie’s, and Steinbeck portrays their American Dream as a literal “dream” of owning a house. The dream was to have a life of freedom, to earn land be prosperous and provide, but to get through it, the workers would think of physical things they could own to propel them and motivate them to work harder in their harsh and difficult work. Steinbeck shows this evidently and this is clear with him repeating George and Lennie’s dream to calm one another down.
My answer isn’t much help, but as I said, please use your search engine and type something along the lines of ‘Of Mice and Men Chapter 6 BBC Bitesize’ to find further help and a stronger development on my answer.
Answer:
i think the figurative language is personification
Explanation:
The theme developed in both stories which represents a life lesson, and coincides in Marigolds” and “First Love”, deals with the meaning of emapthy and love while we are growing up. In a general sense, empathy is defined as the human ability to understand and share the feelings of another while love is an intense feeling of deeper affection. These two feelings are brought to light by the authors of both stories in different ways and, through their main female characters whose ages are before their adulthood.
When comparing the stories, the plots used by the authors coincide in two important items. The first one is the age of the main female characters who are in the childhood and, the second is that they believe that empathy means to love someone. While the main character of Marigolds thinks that destroying Miss Dottie’s marigolds symbolizes the antipathy, felt by the rest of her friends, to this lady; the main character of First love believes that the first empathy kiss received from an elder man means He is in love with her. The conflict of both stories is solved at the end, when the females regret the things they did during their childhood.
In Marigolds, she regrets her behavior, stating:
“In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion”
In First love: she recgnized how mistaken and innocent she had been to think that the boy was deeply in love with her, she stops to be a child.
