Answer: Extended metaphor

A metaphor is a literary device that compares two unlike things. An extended metaphor follows the same mechanism, but extends the comparison throughout a whole poem or a whole narrative. In this case, the author is using the man hitting a narrator on the head with an umbrella as a metaphor. However, it is an extended metaphor because it is maintained throughout the whole story.

Discuss two ways in which dramatic tension is built during the trial in how to kill a mockingbird
denis-greek [22]

The two ways in which the dramatic tensions are expressed in the way of humor and suspense

In considering the trail scene most of the trail scene is suspenseful and it was the scene that people have been waiting for so long. The mood is very suspenseful and tensed about the testimony of the crime scene. When the trail continues for a long time it is very difficult to maintain the suspenseful mood.

They are in the edge of Heck Tate and Mayella testimony and finally it was Toms. The response of Tom in the court room was full of humor and it brought a sense of humor among the readers

Chinua Achebe believes that "[l]iterature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print, gives us a second handle on reality
IgorLugansk [536]
<span>In the work, “What Has Literature Got To Do With It” Chinua Achebe emphasizes his belief that literature is much more than just a creative form of expression, arguing that it is a necessary and vital contribution to everyday life. Achebe explains how “Literature, whether handed down by word of mouth or in print; gives us a second handle on reality”(117). It does so by providing the essential building blocks toward development, or as he calls it, “modernization.” In other words, Achebe argues that, in order for African nations to prosper and become successful, their first “goal” should be to understand literature.

What examples of irony does Saki use to create satire? Check all that apply. Bertha feels lonely. The pigs ate the flowers. Bert
anzhelika [568]

Examples of irony that Saki uses to create satire would be options C and D. Option C is irony because Bertha felt sad that she was not going to be tempted, usually you're not sad over temptation, and for Option D it was mentioned that pigs were more important than flowers which is a bit ironic because usually that would be said the other way around.

I hope this helps! Have a good day
