English

Answer: She was trying to fit in and be as British as possible

Explanation:

In the essay, ''Back to My Own Country'' by Andrea Levy, we are introduced to Andrea's family who had moved from Jamaica to Britain where she was born.

Her family did not want to appear out of place in Britain and so strove to fit in by acting and talking as British-like as they could. Andrea inherited this and tried as well to act British. This led to her being indifferent to her home country Jamaica so much so that she never bothered to tell her friends about it (not that they cared).

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.
