Answer:
She floated around the room so easily she
could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion
She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile
She floated around the room, moving in no
specific direction - Metaphor.
Explanation:
A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"
This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.
A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.
In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.
Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.
In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
Answer:
The observations by Waterbury residents reveals that they never felt Fortune was a true human.
Explanation:
'Fortune's Bone' is a historical writing by Pamela Espeland. The writing reveals about Fortune, an African-American slave owned by Dr. Porter. It is said that Dr. Porter reserved Fortune's body after his death to study anatomy of human being.
The paragraph 18 of the text reveals that the residents of Waterbury never felt that Fortune was truly a human being. After he was founded and given to the museum, his skeleton was named 'Larry' and was considered to be a war hero.
Thus there were many stories created regarding the Fortune's bones that residents of Waterbury hardly imagined that he was truly a human being.
