The option which best describes what the speaker sees in the "days ahead" is:

A. the fall of America.

This question refers to the poem "America" by Jamaican-American author <u>Claude McKay</u>, more specifically to lines 11 to 14, in which the speaker addresses the fall of America:

<em>"Darkly I gaze into the </em><em>days ahead</em><em>,</em>

<em>And see her might and granite wonders there,</em>

<em>Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,</em>

<em>Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."</em>

  • What the speaker means is that he sees the fall of America in "the days ahead." Throughout the poem, the speaker talks of his bittersweet relationship with America. His feelings are somewhere between love and hate or resentment.
  • Although he can see America's wonders, beauty, and potential, he can also see its flaws - the prejudice, the corruption.
  • <u>In conclusion</u>, the speaker believes America's fate is a bad one. In the future, the country will fall.

How can figurative language help characterize a monster in a story?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Well for one, characterisation is how a writer chooses to reveal a characters personality in a story, through things like physical appearance (shiny hair, blue eyes, nice smile, ect.) and through virtues and faults (brave, attentive, smart - egotistical, bitter, evil.)

Figurative language is basically how you'd describe said chracterisations, through things like personification, hyperbole, metaphors, similes, ect.

So with that being said, figurative language can help characterise a monster by doing more than just saying it's a monster; figurative language can make it /feel/ like a monster to the reader. Figurative language can turn the monster '3-D' (for lack of better words), by saying it has long claws, stinky breath, vicious fangs, a horrifying growl, ect. 

My favourite example of figurative language is actually in the childrens book "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, because it uses simple figurative language. Maurice Sendak describes the wild things as so: "They roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.'

Anyway, I hope this helped !! :-)
