English

Answer:

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't alike.  They do NOT use the words "like" or "as".

An example would be....

<em>My sister is a devil.</em>

<em />

Now, this doesn't mean your sister is actually a devil.  It means she acts like a devil, so, she acts evil.

Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks.
As a river is so much larger than a few tears, the metaphor is a creative way of saying that the person is crying a lot. There are so many tears that they remind the writer of a river.

lakkis [162]

Answer:D. Stephano and Trinculo referring to Caliban as their pet monster.

Explanation:

Caliban is an animal-like creature in Shakespeare's <em>the Tempest.</em> When Prospero arrives at the island, he enslaves Caliban and educates him. Caliban, however, remains defiant and his disruptive behavior does not change. Apart from his strange appearance, Caliban curses and hates his master.

In <em>Act II, Scene II</em>, Stephano and Trinculo discuss selling Caliban as an attraction in England for a piece of silver. They refer to Caliban as <em>'a strange fish'.</em> This demonstrates their dominance over Caliban - they act as colonizers who possess him, and have a right to do whatever they want with him:

(Trinculo) ''<em>A strange fish! Were I in England now, as once I was, and had but this fish painted, not a holiday fool there but would give a piece of silver.''</em>

What do you guys think?
Zepler [3.9K]

It is a simile because it is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
