One example of figurative language in the excerpt from Grendel is hyperbole. Hyperbole is when a statement is exaggerated or not meant to be taken literally.
Hello. You forgot to mention that this question is about "The Glass Castle".
Answer:
The author decided to include the scene with Dinitia and the pool to show how the blacks who already suffered a lot of discrimination were more tolerant of people with bad life situations. This is a defining moment in Jeannette's life, because it allows her to befriend and allows her to recognize tolerant, friendly and good behaviors.
Explanation:
The Glass Castle is a book written by Jeannette Walls, where she tells the stories of her childhood, living in a dangerous environment, with dysfunctional parents and intense family problems. In this story the author Jeannette tells how the other children refused her company at the pool because they said that she lived in the garbage (the house she lived in was very old and worn out) and that it would be a source of illness, since she had a family situation and economics so bad. Jeannette is very sad about the situation, but finds a friendship with Dinitia who says that she can use the pool with black children.
Jeannette is well received by black people who use the pool, since they understand what it is like to be discriminated against, besides, she makes a good friendship with Dinitia, which influences her childhood positively.
<span>#1) How are “Sonnet 55” and “Love Is Not All” similar and different?
Answer: The similarities in both of them is the use of alliteration and imagery. This can be seen in “Sonnet 55”, for example “wasteful war.” and in “Love is Not All”, “pain, past, power, and peace”. Also the form are similar. Love is not all is mentioned as Shakespearean sonnet. A difference between these is the theme. “Sonnet 55” talks about immortality and memory while “Love is not all important” talks about the irony of how love is not everything but it’s not unimportant.
I hope it helps, Regards.<span>
