Read the excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment," and then match the characters with the traits they rep

resent.
. . . The fair widow knew, of old, that Colonel Killigrew's compliments were not always measured by sober truth; so she started up and ran to the mirror, still dreading that the ugly visage of an old woman would meet her gaze. Meanwhile, the three gentlemen behaved in such a manner as proved that the water of the Fountain of Youth possessed some intoxicating qualities; unless, indeed, their exhilaration of spirits were merely a lightsome dizziness caused by the sudden removal of the weight of years. Mr. Gascoigne's mind seemed to run on political topics, but whether relating to the past, present, or future, could not easily be determined, since the same ideas and phrases have been in vogue these fifty years. Now he rattled forth full-throated sentences about patriotism, national glory, and the people's right; now he muttered some perilous stuff or other, in a sly and doubtful whisper, so cautiously that even his own conscience could scarcely catch the secret; and now, again, he spoke in measured accents, and a deeply deferential tone, as if a royal ear were listening to his well-turned periods. Colonel Killigrew all this time had been trolling forth a jolly bottle-song, and ringing his glass in symphony with the chorus, while his eyes wandered toward the buxom figure of the Widow Wycherly. On the other side of the table, Mr. Medbourne was involved in a calculation of dollars and cents, with which was strangely intermingled a project for supplying the East Indies with ice, by harnessing a team of whales to the polar icebergs.

In one or two paragraphs of a minimum of 150 words, describe how Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Bells” uses figurative language to
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe created the poem "The Bells" to describe them using stylistic devices. Look down below for the answer as this is a space for short answers.

Explanation:

Three different elements show how Edgar Allan Poe used figurative language to develop his poem "The Bells". First of all, "The Bells" is a poem that describes the sound of different types of bells, as much as the general idea allowed him to think about all types of bells and represent them in the poem. Second, once he has thought and analyzed the different characteristic sounds of each type he makes comparisons, similes, and imagery are the most used elements in the poem. Third, after trying to identify them, he describes them in what is his best "shot" to be understood by the reader. Then, he repeats different elements, scenes, and objects to compare them and differentiate one type from the other. One major factor here is that he uses his knowledge and learning to transmit his idea. That might not be perfect but is complete, because he described them so hard by comparing them to common objects that the reader can understand his point of view easily.
