Answer:
Bronte creates sympathy for the girls at Lowood school by employing the literary device of personification and starkly describing the girls' less than favorable living conditions in the school.
Explanation:
- Bronte described Jane's first morning at Lowood school during a winter, the water in the pitchers the girls are meant to use for their morning ablutions are frozen and yet they have to use the water like that.
- During breakfast they were served burnt porridge they could not eat and consequently had to suffer through the morning to lunch time without eating anything, an event that Bronte suggested happened more than once.
- The girls are denied simple and harmless luxuries like keeping their natural curls and wearing clean stockings, a fact that ironically contrasts with the way the proprietor's family present themselves in artificial finery.
- When disease struck the inhabitants of Lowood Bronte described the dismal atmosphere using personification: "while disease had thus became an inhabitant of Lowood, and death its frequent visitor; while there was gloom within its walls; while its rooms and passages steamed with hospital smells." All the makes the reader feel sympathetic towards the girls, as they are living in conditions that are not fit to be lived in.
The following statements are the key ideas from the article about Barry Bonds:
<u>- No players were chosen for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013.</u>
- People disagree about whether baseball players accused of using
<u>performance-enhancing drugs should join the Hall of Fame.</u>
<u>Explanation</u>:
The given article discusses about the drug allegation in Major League Baseball and the accusation against the athletes.
The players who are suspected for consumption of the drugs were not chosen for the Hall of Fame. The voters were not able to select the players suspected of doping. The disagreement by the people for the doping issue is supported by the author.
The article mentions that some of the drugs have medical uses. But this was not the key idea of the article. It is shown that the athletes have used the drugs without prescriptions which are illegal.
