Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

A character feuding with a close friend.

A character living in a harsh environment.

A character being judged by the community.

Explanation:

External conflict in a literary work refers to a fight or struggle between the main character and some outside force. An outside force means it is outside the body of the character. There are three main types of external conflict in literature:

Character to character: The most common one is the protagonist versus the antagonist, a character feuding with a close friend is an example of a character to character conflict.

Character versus society: This conflict refers to the main character struggling with social forces, examples of this conflict are a character being judged by the community and  a character living in a harsh environment, when a harsh environment refers to the social environment he is surrounded by.

Character versus nature: When the protagonist struggles against forces of nature. An example can also be a character living in a harsh environment, when it refers to climate conditions.

Think of a favorite story. How does the writer let you know what’s going on? Consider the beginning, and explain how the writer

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

My favourite story is 'There will come soft rains' by Ray Bradbury. I've noticed in his writing particularly this piece he uses repeating words and phrases to describe the mechanical functions of the house. Along with great auditory and visual description, he paints an amazing scene of the clockwork construct of the house. The very first sentence shows this.

"In the living room the voice-clock sang, 'Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up, seven o 'clock!' as if it were afraid that nobody would" The line being included of "As if it were afraid that nobody would" points to the great reason of this stories existence.

Another section, one with amazing visual description as opposed to the more auditory description of the voice-clock.

"'Nine-fifteen,' sang the clock, 'time to clean. '

Out of warrens in the wall, tiny robot mice darted. The rooms were a crawl with the small cleaning animals, all rubber and metal. They thudded against chairs, whirling their moustached runners, kneading the rug nap, sucking gently at hidden dust. Then, like mysterious invaders, they popped into their burrows. Their pink electric eyes faded. The house was clean."

This is amazing at giving you a visual representation of what a daily chore in this house is like, How delicate such a process can be. It gives you a sense that one mistake can ruin the quiet inner workings of the house. Without even suggesting that anything go wrong because of how organized the scene is the descriptive languages helps portray almost everything in the story, the kitchen scenes with the smell of bacon, toast, and eggs. The sounds of the voice-clock and tiny cleaning mice. There are no characters, only the house. And the story makes you feel as though the house is a character, that it has just as much personality as a human. I genuinely love this story.

What are some examples of the use of figurative language in “Tribute to a Dog”? What is the impact of figurative words and phras

Yuliya22 [10]

Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following: 
♣ He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)
♣ The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. (Personification)
♣ A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
♣ He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)
♣ He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more. But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.

How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems? by describing their neglect of orders by explaining t

ivolga24 [154]

This question is missing the necessary excerpt to be answered. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.

but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!

Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,

fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they

butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,

feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running

to call to arms the main force of Cicones.

How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus’s men caused their own problems?

by describing their neglect of orders

by explaining their military strategy

by showing their physical weaknesses

by illustrating their cruelty to one another

Answer:

The best option is letter A. by describing their neglect of orders.

Explanation:

In the famous epic poem "The Odyssey", the main character Odysseus is on board a ship with his men, struggling to return home. Odysseus was told that if his men killed the cattle found in Helios's island, the boat and the men themselves would be destroyed. However, his men are stubborn and demand to land there. Odysseus then makes them swear they won't touch the cattle.

However, the men's promise only lasts for as long as they have food on the ship. As soon hunger begins to torment them, they lose their resolution and forget about the promise they made. The excerpt above shows how they ignored Odysseus's orders. It is this stupidity that will lead them all to die in a storm created by Zeus. Only Odysseus survives, since he is the only one who does not touch the cattle. If his men had been obedient to his orders, they would have stayed alive. They caused their own problems.

Questions 13–18: Identify each of the italicized clauses in the sentences below as either restrictive or nonrestrictive. Rewrite

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Even though the question doesn't bring options, it is possible to understand and explain the concepts.

Explanation:

A nonrestrictive phrase is the one that requires information that is not strictly essential for the complete sentence, meaning that the main sentence would be complete even if this part were not written. They are indicated with commas (one or two, according to the position in the sentence.) An example would be "His brother, who plays football, is a great student."

A restrictive clause is an essential part of the sentence. If it is not there, the sentence seem to be incomplete or vague, so they must be in the sentence and commas are not required. An example would be "My mom brought the chicken that she cooked to the party."
