Answer:

Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.

Explanation:

Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:

<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>

Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:

<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>

Over [174]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)

In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.

Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:  

Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.

List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified

Answer:

Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.

Explanation:

The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
