"The wind tapped like a tired man,
And like a host, "Come in,"
I boldly answered; entered then
My residence within

A rapid, footless guest,
To offer whom a chair
Were as impossible as hand
A sofa to the air.

No bone had he to bind him,
His speech was like the push
Of numerous humming-birds at once
From a superior bush.

His countenance a billow,
His fingers, if he pass,
Let go a music, as of tunes
Blown tremulous in glass.

He visited, still flitting;
Then, like a timid man,
Again he tapped—'t was flurriedly—
And I became alone."

Dickinson uses a simile in the first stanza of this poem to

A) describe the doorway of the house.
B) give the wind humanlike characteristics.
C) emphasize the destructive power of the wind.
D) describe the speaker of the poem.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Give the wind humanlike characteristics.

Explanation.

A simile is a literary device frequently used in poetry that is based on the comparison or similarity between two or more objects. This differs from the metaphor because it is simpler and more direct. Based on the above, it can be inferred that Dickinson is using the simile in the first stanza because she compares the wind with a human by assigning it specific characteristics such as "The wind tapped like a tired man,  And like a host", and "Then, like a timid man". According to the above, the correct answer is B. Give the wind humanlike characteristics.

If the limelight of a movie was on a character who had one defect, the scriptwriter might have been making an allusion to _____________.

Answers

Answer:

Achilles

Explanation:

A faulty character is likely to be an allusion to Achilles. This is because Achilles was a man who was bathed in the river Styx and was left invulnerable. However, he had a flaw. His heel was not washed in the river and it became a completely fragile place. For this reason, a character in a movie who has a single flaw might allude to Achilles.

It is important to remember that allusion is a figure of speech that allows a writer to make references to things, people and places that are not part of his/her text, but which have a special meaning when added to the text.

Clubs are known to operate at night and the electronic beats emanating from there show that the city remained busy even into the night. All of these sounds are noisy and clearly indicate that the city was a very busy place filled with activities and noise.

A phrase is said to be restrictive (or otherwise called essential), if the word it modifies is narrowed down and it describes which noun it is writing about. They do not have commas and they are essential to the meaning of the sentence.

On the other hand, a nonrestrictive phrase describes a word whose meaning is already clear. As a result of this, it is not essential to the meaning of a sentence, therefore commas are used.
