1. My brother gave me a set of colorful Stationery In the garden, Marie stayed
6. Fourth, the invitations should be sent.
The structure of the paragraph is organized as a numbered list that the host must do in order to have a great party. Each sentence that is part of the list begins with an ordinal number (first, second, third). It would make sense to have the next sentence begin with the word fourth. Also, the only thing left out to planning the party is inviting the guests.
12. C. I thought about what he'd said soon I realized he was right.
There are two independent clauses in this sentence: "I though about what he'd said" and "soon I realized he was right." These two indpendent clauses must be separated with a period or joined together with a semicolon or a comma and a conjunction.
14. Prewriting
John is doing some brainstorming of his topic ideas. Brainstorming is in the prewriting stage because he is still trying to figure out exactly what he wants his topic to be. The planning step would involve creating an outline.
15. The game will be called if the storm continues, the weather is dangerous.
This sentence is a runon because it has two independent clauses "The game will be called" and "the weather is dangerous". There is a dependent clause as well: "if the storm continues". The two independent clauses are only separated with a comma. This is not enough. There should be a conjunction as well as a comma or a semicolon.
Answer:
The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.
Explanation:
<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:
- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile
- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor
The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.
<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>
