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: <span>
   ♣ </span>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. <span>(Personification) 
   ♣ </span><span>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.</span><span>  (Personification) 
   ♣ </span>A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
   ♣ <span>He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor) 
   ♣ H</span><span>e 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. </span>

3. Which statement describes Mary's motivation for covering
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.</u>

Explanation:

Mary is about six months pregnant when she finds out that her husband is going to leave her.

This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.

Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.

<em>She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

<em>She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.</em>

She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.

Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker
Daniel [21]

I believe the missing excerpt is from Midsummer by Derek Walcott, which is as follows:

 

With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, 
midsummer's leaves race to extinction like the roar
of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses;
they seethe toward autumn's fire—it is in their nature,
being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun.

 

So, based on the excerpt, the speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable.

 

To add, Midsummer is a sequence of 54 lyrics that record one year's passing in the poet's life from summer to summer.

Penn commits a tort while acting in the interest of her undisclosed principal. Who is responsible or liable? Principal and agent
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Principal Only.

Explanation:

The word 'tort' is borrowed from Latin word 'tortum' which means 'wrong, or injustice.' Thus, the word tort means to cause an injury or harm to someone or someone's property.

Tort is committed in many ways. <u>'Agency Relationship Liability Tort'</u> is the type of tort in which a principal and an agent is required. In such torts, a principal will be held responsible directly in cases when he fails to supervise his agent, when he directly commands his agent to commit tort, or when he neglects to check the background of the agent while hiring.

<u>In the given case, the unnamed principal will be held directly responsible for guiding Penn to commit tort. Because Penn committed tort in the interest of her undisclosed principal</u>.

Thus the correct answer is 'Principal Only.'
