This is a quote from "Life of Pi" and I'm trying to figure out what kind of literary device it is, "My Roman soldier stood in th

e schoolyard one morning when I was twelve... He saw me and a flash of evil genius lit up his dull mind. He raised his arm, pointed at me and shouted, 'It's P*ssing Patel!'... I walked in last, wearing my crown of thorns". I'm thinking it's a metaphor but I'm not too sure. Can you also explain what kind of impact this quote would have on a reader (connection and empathy, make the abstract concrete, motivate the reader to act, feel or experience etc.)? Thank you!

Read the following vocabulary word in context from Act I as found on the page indicated. You may need to read some text before a
likoan [24]
disrespectfulness

In the play the word is used when Keller says, "You be quiet! I’m badgered enough here by females without your impudence." The first trick to identifying a word's definition using context clues is to decide if the word is used in a positive way or a negative way. After reading Keller's statement, we can tell he is frustrated and annoyed, so he is not going to be talking in a positive way. This eliminates the first two options immediately. Disrespectfulness is your answer.

What kind of figutive languege involves giving a human traits nonhuman objects?
Sonja [21]
I think what you're looking for is called "Personification"
Personification is where you give non-living objects human-ish looks or feelings, etc. For example take a look at Beauty and The Beast and its two main mascots the little clock guy and the candle. This is an example of personification. <span />

How do families influence us in different ways​
RoseWind [281]

There are two ways that families influence values and expectations of their children: directly and indirectly. Parents directly teach their children values. Children watch their parents interact with others, make choices and determine right and wrong for themselves, and this impacts how they develop their moral self.
