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!

How can these scientific magazines be evaluated as
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The answer is B, current copyright dates.

Explanation:

A persuasive argument has nothing to do with how reliable a source is. Well-written opinions are just opinions, which are not facts that you can rely on. Professional photos can be taken by anyone. Current copyright dates at least tell you that the info is NOT outdated.

How can I write a good theme about ," The Fall of the House of Usher" revolving around fear?
Paha777 [63]

Much of the fear addressed in "The Fall of the House of Usher" is related to decay and death. As the narrator arrives, he contrasts the long-standing, enduring trees with the decayed aspect of the house. Usher appears extremely pale, and the impending death of Madeline dominates the atmosphere in the house and has caused Roderick to lose his mind. The cataleptic condition of Madeline also brings with it repeated death-like experiences, and the fear of a premature burial, another of Poe's topics.

You can follow this trend of thought and illustrate it with those elements and passages in the story that relate to this decay, with its accompanying gloom, and with all those that refer to death and to untimely entombment.
