"It was a mistake, leaving on this sinking coffin" is an example of which type of figurative language?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Figurative languages are the words that writers use to convey meanings to their works through the use of unconventional words. These elements of writing provide colorful clarity with a much clearer detail in presenting the work.

In the given expression of using the phrase "sinking coffin" from "Refugee" by Alan Gratz, we can say that this is a metaphor. Metaphors are used to compare between things or events without the use of comparison words such as "like" or "as". And in saying that "it was a mistake, leaving on this sinking coffin", Lito compares the overcrowded boat to a coffin, an image of death.

Which sentence best states a theme of the passage
from The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter?

Answers

Answer:

This passage is taken from the Part Two, Chapter 1, which focuses on Mick Kelly. This is the chapter in which she throws a party at her house and in which, later that night after all her guests have left, she goes for a walk and sits under the window of a rich house to listen to the music from their radio. For the first time in her life, Mick hears a symphony by Beethoven. This passage explains her reaction to the music, first as she hears it and then after it ends. There is nothing else in the story that affects Mick the way this music does; it is almost as though she is having a religious epiphany. The intensity of her reaction indicates her intensity and intelligence as a person and highlights the extent of the passion she feels about music. Mick loves it so much that after it ends, she experiences the absence as a physical "hurt."

Explanation:

This was her, Mick Kelly, walking in the daytime and by herself at night. In the hot sun and in the dark with all the plans and feelings. This music was her—the real plain her...This music did not take a long time or a short time. It did not have anything to do with time going by at all. She sat with her arms around her legs, biting her salty knee very hard. The whole world was this symphony, and there was not enough of her to listen... Now that it was over there was only her heart beating like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.

Summarize chapter three of To Kill A Mockingbird

Answers

At lunch, Scout rubs Walter’s nose in the dirt for getting her in trouble, but Jem intervenes and invites Walter to lunch (in the novel, as in certain regions of the country, the midday meal is called “dinner”). At the Finch house, Walter and Atticus discuss farm conditions “like two men,” and Walter puts molasses all over his meat and vegetables, to Scout’s horror. When she criticizes Walter, however, Calpurnia calls her into the kitchen to scold her and slaps her as she returns to the dining room, telling her to be a better hostess. Back at school, Miss Caroline becomes terrified when a tiny bug, or “cootie,” crawls out of a boy’s hair. The boy is Burris Ewell, a member of the Ewell clan, which is even poorer and less respectable than the Cunningham clan. In fact, Burris only comes to school the first day of every school year, making a token appearance to avoid trouble with the law. He leaves the classroom, making enough vicious remarks to cause the teacher to cry. At home, Atticus follows Scout outside to ask her if something is wrong, to which she responds that she is not feeling well. She tells him that she does not think she will go to school anymore and suggests that he could teach her himself. Atticus replies that the law demands that she go to school, but he promises to keep reading to her, as long as she does not tell her teacher about it.

Read this scene from The Miracle Worker Act 3.
(ANNIE is now alone on the stage. She turns, gazing around at the stripped room, bidding it silently farewell,
impassively, like a defeated general on the deserted battlefield. All that remains is a stand with a basin of
water....)
How do these stage directions add meaning to the play?
The stage directions show Annie's manner of speaking.
The stage directions illustrate the appearance of the room.
The stage directions reveal the historical time period.
The stage directions describe how characters react to Annie.

Answers

Answer:

Stage directions are the director's visualization of what should happen in the stage.

Explanation:

Stage directions let the actors or the readers know where they should be on stage. There are specific directions such as center stage, downstage left, upstage right, etc. Stage directions can also help in setting the emotional tone, rhythm, and mood of the play for the audience to capture the message and/or meta-message of the play. For the actor/reader, the stage directions can also help him/her in determining subtexts of his/her dialogues.

In the example given, the reader knows what ANNIE should do (i.e., turns, gazing around at the stripped room, bidding it silently farewell) or what emotions need to convey (i.e., impassively, like a defeated general on the deserted battlefield.).

When you combine both the actions and the emotions essential for the play, a powerful message or a metaphor will be delivered (i.e., All that remains is a stand with a basin of water) that will have a significant impact on the audience.

ITS FROM THE STORY A Horseman in the Sky
by Ambrose Bierce, PLS HELP ITS 2 AM

Answers

Answer:

Bierce chooses to narrate A Horseman in the Sky through a third person omniscient point of view. In the story, this perspective often focuses on Carter. Since the narrator is omniscient, we are also able to watch the events through the eyes of other characters. After the fateful gunshot, the point of view shifts to two other soldiers One soldier witnesses the horse and Confederate soldier fall off the cliff and seemingly fly through the air. The other soldier hears Druse's gunshot and interviews him about what happened. The perspective graphically notes the horror of Druse's experience with the lines, ''Carter Druse grew pale; he shook in every limb, turned faint, and saw the statuesque group before him as black figures, rising, falling, moving unsteadily in arcs of circles in a fiery sky. His hand fell away from his weapon, his head slowly dropped until his face rested on the leaves in which he lay.''Since the narrator is able to see inside the character's head, the reader can experience this scene with the character. Although Druse may be somewhat in shock, he does not indicate who the Confederate soldier is until the end of the story when a superior officer directly asks him. Thus, the perspective provides the reader with insight into the character's experience before revealing the true depth of his choice.
