She was a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling she bore
in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
She rose.

What kind of figurative language is used in the poem above?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

When the author says that the woman "was a black ocean", this uses the linguistic device of a metaphor. This makes a comparison between two things which are mainly different but similar in one way. In this case, the comparison is being made between the woman and the ocean. A metaphor is used without the mention of 'like' or 'as', which is what a simile uses.

Answer: The correct answer is D: She shows that her parenting methods

"I should like to buy an egg, please,” she said timidly. "How do you sell them?”

"Fivepence farthing for one—Twopence for two,” the Sheep replied.

"Then two are cheaper than one?” Alice said in a surprised tone, taking out her purse.

"Only you MUST eat them both, if you buy two,” said the Sheep.

"Then I'll have ONE, please,” said Alice, as she put the money down on the counter. For she thought to herself, "They mightn't be at all nice, you know.”

The Sheep took the money, and put it away in a box: then she said "I never put things into people's hands—that would never do—you must get it for yourself.” And so saying, she went off to the other end of the shop, and set the egg upright on a shelf.

"I wonder WHY it wouldn't do?” thought Alice, as she groped her way among the tables and chairs, for the shop was very dark towards the end. "The egg seems to get further away the more I walk towards it. Let me see, is this a chair? Why, it's got branches, I declare! How very odd to find trees growing here! And actually here's a little brook! Well, this is the very queerest shop I ever saw!”

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

That your Sex are Naturally Tyrannical is a Truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute, but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of Master for the more tender and endearing one of Friend. Why then, not put it out of the power of the vicious and the Lawless to use us with cruelty and indignity with impunity. Men of Sense in all Ages abhor those customs which treat us only as the vassals of your Sex. Regard us then as Beings placed by providence under your protection and in immitation of the Supreem Being make use of that power only for our happiness.

Select the quoted excerpt that best represents the central idea of paragraph 2 in Passage 2.

"That your sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute,..."  "...but such of you as wish to be happy willingly give up the harsh title of master for the more tender and endearing one of friend."  "Men of sense in all ages abhor these customs which treat us only as the vassals of your sex..."  "... regard us then as beings placed by Providence under your protection, and in imitation of the Supreme Being make use of that power only for our happiness."

Answer:

"That your sex are naturally tyrannical is a truth so thoroughly established as to admit of no dispute,..."

Explanation:

The passage shown above was spoken from Abigail Adams to John Adams, where she testifies that men are tyrannical in relation to women. This is a natural part of their personality. However, she says that just as the Americans revolted against a tyrannical king, women can rebel against their husbands and provoke a rebellion against the abuse caused by men.

She also says that the few men who overcome their tyranny within and treat women fairly can achieve happiness.

In Macbeth, what thematic ideas are associated with the witches in these first four scenes?

Answers

Answer:

Description of the scenes in Act 1 as well as the themes in Act 1:

Act 1 Scene 1:  the involvement and influence from other-worldly powers, the fight against other-worldly powers, evil, war, and betrayal/treachery, and trust.

Act 1 Scene 2: war, wartime loss, patriotism, betrayal/treachery, and trust.

Act 1 Scene 3: the involvement and influence of other-worldly powers, the fight against other-worldly powers, war, wartime loss, evil, trust, and betrayal/treachery.

Act 1 Scene 4:  war, evil, betrayal/treachery, and trust.

Explanation:

Act 1 Scene 1 Explanation:

  The key words and actions that indicate this are:

1) The characters are witches that can fly and use their powers - this is what is meant when they say "anon" (which means until then.. is often used when saying goodbye) and "paddock calls" is what is said when evil beings/spirits or mythical creatures are going to complete their task.. a paddock is an area where you keep cattle and horses on a ranch.. this tells us that the witches can turn into different creatures and animals. This basically means that they are leaving and will use their powers to do achieve their objectives.

       If you look up this phrase through the website shakespeare online you will read that "During the Renaissance it was believed that the d-e-v-i-l sent witches malicious spirits to help them carry out their evil deeds. These 'familiars' or 'imps' would appear in animal form.."

This hints that the witches will carry out the evil deeds using their granted powers and forms to alter the actions of the main protagonist.

2) When the third witch states,  "Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air."  

     This indicates that the witches plan to cause chaos in the story, and the second statement "Hover through the...." basically means that they are flying away (leaving) and will return to enact their plan.

Act 1 Scene 2 Explanation:  

   The key words and actions that support my answer:

1) When the scene starts the main characters enter and discuss the honor of a soldier who valiantly (bravely) fought for the rule of the king and his sons (Duncan, and his son Malcolm).. as well as discuss another soldier named Macbeth..

2) When the bleeding soldier talks about the betrayal of a comrade named Macdonwald and discusses how the honorable Macbeth killed Macdonwald before he could harm his country and commit any further illegal acts or mutiny..

3) Further description of the key words and phrases in the passage..

        When it says "two spent swimmers,"

It is describing Macbeth's armies and Macdonwald's armies as they battle..

         When it says the "multiplying villanies [villainies] of nature Do swarm upon him-- from the western isles" this is hinting that Macdonwald is working for the country/group that the king of Scotland (Duncan) is at war with..

     Where it says "And fortune, on his ----- quarrel smiling, show like..."

This means that Macdonwald is confident and sure that he will win the battle and fights as if luck/fortune itself (personified) is on his side.

     When it says "Disdaining fortune... faced the slave,"

This details how Macbeth fights, and how he confronts and Lady Luck (again this is just a saying there is no actual woman named "Lady luck") and defeats Macdonwald and his army.

    Where it says "Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him, Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps, And fix'd his head upon our battlements,"

This means that Macbeth basically defeated Macdonwald by surprisingly impaled him with his sword slicing him from his center (his stomach/"nave") down to his legs (the chaps).. thus claiming his victory as he sticks Macdonwald's head to the wall of their battlement (think of the top of a fort/castle wall)

  " Doubtful it stood;

As two spent swimmers, that do cling together

And choke their art. The merciless Macdonwald--

Worthy to be a rebel, for to that

The multiplying villanies of nature

Do swarm upon him--from the western isles

Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied;

And fortune, on his _____ quarrel smiling,

Show'd like a rebel's ____: but all's too weak:

For brave Macbeth--well he deserves that name--

Disdaining fortune, with his brandish'd steel,

Which smoked with bloody execution,

Like valour's minion carved out his passage

Till he faced the slave;

Which ne'er shook hands, nor bade farewell to him,

Till he unseam'd him from the nave to the chaps,

And fix'd his head upon our battlements."

Why is identifying plot structure valuable?

Answers

Plot structure is evident in almost all short stories, novels, films and other forms of narrative. The typical manner of discussing plot is to think of it like a mountain or pyramid. This idea, devised by German playwright Gustav Freytag in 1863, offers a visual representation of plot development. Most stories follow the same basic structure that explores character development and conflict resolution. Successfully identifying these elements helps readers to fully engage with the text.
