Maritza’s response supports school choice for personal freedoms and equal opportunity for all students to get the best education possible. The new information contradicts that position because it gives examples of charter schools that have failed and that are inferior to public schools. Maritza might consider the evidence strong enough to revise her position and rewrite the argument. She might also attempt to explain the evidence and defend her argument in a new paragraph by arguing that the benefits of school choice outweigh the disadvantages.
This is a quote by Elizabeth Proctor.
It is an important quote from <em>The Crucible </em>(1953) by Arthur Miller, a play that explores the story of the Salem witch trials in Massachussets in 1692.
In the play, Elizabeth Proctor is accused of witchcraft by Abigail Williams, her husband's mistress. In that way, the quote is from Elizabeth to John. In this excerpt of the play, she is talking about Abigail, who apparently wants to take Elizabeth's place. Therefore, Elizabeth uses these words to explain her husband that his mistress accuses her of witchcraft because she is motivated by jealously.
c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
