The author describes a wall ""as if hewn from the side of a mountain."" Find other examples of figurative language. Why did the
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The author did not limit himself to literal language because he knew that figurative language would give more expressiveness and depth to the text.

As you did not show the text to which your question refers, it is not possible to show the use of figurative language in the text, but it is possible to state the reasons that led the author to use this type of language.

In the question above, we can see that the author made use of the simile, a figure of speech that allows the comparison between two elements, increasing the meaning between them.

This objective is very common in authors who use any type of figurative language in their texts. This is because figurative language can:

  • Intensify parts of the text.
  • Make the text deeper.
  • Show more expressiveness.
  • Create more impactful meanings.
  • Force the reader's thinking.
  • Approach topics with greater delicacy, or more aggressiveness.

It is important to emphasize that figurative language does not have a literal meaning of the words, but something more subjunctive, unlike the literal language.

Which statement best describes an effective counterclaim to the claim in this passage? Because Dred Scott's parents were born ou
lara [203]

Answer:

Because Dred Scott and his family were born in the United States, they are citizens with all the rights granted by the Constitution.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this is the passage that the question refers to:

<em>"It will be observed, that the plea applies to that class of persons only whose ancestors were negroes of the African race, and imported into this country, and sold and held as slaves. The only matter in issue before the court, therefore, is, whether the descendants of such slaves, when they shall be emancipated, or who are born of parents who had become free before their birth, are citizens of a State, in the sense in which the word "citizen” is used in the Constitution of the United States. . . . . . . The question before us is, whether the class of persons described in the plea in abatement compose a portion of this people, and are constituent members of this sovereignty? We think they are not, and that they are not included, and were not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution, and can therefore claim none of the rights and privileges which that instrument provides for and secures to citizens of the United States."</em>

In this passage, the opinion of the author is that Dred Scott cannot be considered an American citizen because he is the descendant of slaves. The author argues that slaves were not considered as "citizens" when the Constitution was written, and therefore, their children cannot be citizens either. However, a counterclaim to this statement would be the argument that Dred Scott and his family should be considered citizens because they were born in the United States, and therefore, deserve all the rights that citizenship grants them.
