Answer:
C or C- or, maybe even a D. (Failing)
Explanation:
I have read the passage in "The Contest" and I believe the following lines suggest that Emperor Nero was ruthless:
“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. Quick, man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!” - This was the conversation of Policles and his friend, Metas of Corinth......................<span />
Answer:
Good clear answers and obviously more knowledgeable than me, but i would like to add that when I taught English as a foreign language I would, once students had achieved a sufficient level, have introduced the idea of two types of English side-by-side, one of a perhaps more ‘educated’ and certainly more Latinate, and another more ‘homely’ which echoes the more Anglo-Saxon tradition, so regal/kingly, maternal/motherly. I have come across translations from other languages that are clearly from one tradition and from the other, and if a choice is to be made I far prefer the Anglo-Saxon, even though it’s not so posh.
And yes, I did encourage students to be Anglo-Saxons.
I could also add that I have a notion that Norman children were brought up very largely by Anglo-Saxon servants, and when they wandered into the kitchens looking for something to eat they would have used the language. By the time the courtier Geoffrey Chaucer was writing I’m sure Normans were cheerfully bilingual and getting to like English.
Explanation:
Juan Rulfo writes his book <em>“Tell Them Not to Kill Me!”</em> with a strong sense of place when he tells his story he invokes <em>all five senses</em> of the reader, there are <em>textures, sounds, smells</em>, everything is described.
This makes the reader feel the life of Juvencio, the reader can feel the fear that he feels, the heat that he bears, the dust and everything related to his environment.
It’s important to say that Rulfo also uses <em>various verb tenses</em> in a way to make the reader alternate between <em>memory and reality</em>, so the reader also has access to Juvencio’s memories.
Answer:
Belle used figures of speech personification and metaphor.
Explanation:
Belle uses the metaphor when she claims that a golden idol has replaced her. With that, she creates a new meaning between herself and the idol, placing it as something subjunctive and with a deeper and figurative meaning.
In a similar way she uses personification when she says that the idol has replaced her, because an idol is an inanimate object, which is unable to replace anything and no one, but she perbonifies it, making him gain the ability to replace it.
