Shakespeare’s plays are filled with examples of figurative language, language that means something other than its literal meanin

g and expresses ideas in vivid and imaginative ways. In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo says:
“But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she...”

Shakespeare shows Juliet’s radiance by comparing her to the sun using figurative language: the metaphor “Juliet is the sun.” He also uses personification, saying the moon is “envious” and “sick and pale with grief” that Juliet is more beautiful than it is.

Why does the author of this passage include a quotation from Romeo and Juliet?

A
to describe where the play Romeo and Juliet takes place

B
to support her argument that Shakespeare’s language was not very imaginative

C
to describe Romeo’s character traits in the play Romeo and Juliet

D
to give examples of figurative language in Shakespeare’s plays

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Dias' decision to take action when she faced something unfair led to a movement that influenced others.

Explanation:

This question refers to the text "Marley Dias: The Thirteen-Year-Old Activist and Author." In this text, we learn about the actions and character of Marley Dias. She is a girl who was frustrated by the fact that books did not generally represent her. Books often had white protagonists, while she is black. She decided to look for more books about black girls, and realized there were not many. Therefore, she started the movement known as #1000blackgirlbooks to bring visibility to this problem. The movement grew exponentially, affecting many people, and showing that Dias' actions influenced others deeply.
