Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

The line above is an example of a simile. A simile is a type of figurative language that uses the words "like" or "as" to compare two different things. In this case, the simile is comparing dandruff to snow. The reason this is figurative language is that the dandruff is not actually snow. The sentence is using words in a non-literal way to convey more information to the reader.

Examine the theme of moral corruption in Hamlet and write an essay of about 200 words on the subject. Be sure to include example
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Moral corruption is evident throughout Hamlet. The statement "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," made by Marcellus in act I scene IV, sums up the moral corruption in the play.

You may have used these other instances of moral corruption in your answer:

Claudius eyeing his brother's wife, Queen Gertrude

Claudius murdering his brother

Claudius marrying his brother's wife

Claudius and Gertrude attempting to convince Hamlet to move on from his father's death and accept his stepfather

Polonius' treatment of Ophelia and his willingness to do the bidding of Claudius

Prince Hamlet plotting to kill his uncle Claudius

Prince Hamlet abusing his mother and calling her promiscuous

Hamlet killing Polonius instead of Claudius

Claudius ordering the king of England to put his nephew, Hamlet, to death

Claudius poisoning Laertes's sword before his duel with Hamlet

Hamlet stabbing Claudius

the death of all the morally corrupt characters of the play (Hamlet, Polonius, Laertes, Claudius, Gertrude, and even Rosencrantz and Guildenstern), which may mean that corruption will lead to death

You may also have used quotes from the play similar to the one below, in which Hamlet laments his mother's sudden marriage to his uncle:

O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer—married with my uncle,

My father's brother...

What is one key difference between the critical acclaim received by Edgar Allan Poe and that received by Stephen King?
svlad2 [7]
I'd say the correct answer is the second option. Because while he was alive, Poe lived in poverty because he couldn't earn enough writing poems and stories, he also had to get a job as a critic. Only after he died did people start realizing the importance of Poe's work. And King is still alive, and still popular, receiving numerous awards for many of his works.

Identify the prepositional phrase after we finish our reports , we are going to the movies
vaieri [72.5K]
A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition. Although after can be used as a preposition, in this case it is an adverb, and is followed by a clause, not a phrase. The correct answer is thus to the movies, because the phrase starts with the preposition to.
