When he says "Denmark's a prison", Hamlet is using a metaphor. A metaphor is a word or expression that means something different from their literal meaning. This figurative language is telling us that, like a person who is in prison, Hamlet also feels as if he were trapped and watched the whole time.

Two other sentences that are using figurative language as well, are the following:

"<u>To be or not to be</u>", is a parallel structure, that is, when we are using the same pattern of words, to show that those words or ideas bear the same importance.

"<u>Despised love</u>", is an oxymoron, which is a kind of speech containing words that seem to contradict each other.

Write a 150 word essay that discusses two key differences between the prose form of Sojourner Truth's speech and the poetic vers
torisob [31]

One of the important purposes of nineteenth-century American speeches was to aid in understanding the experience of slavery from a personal point of view. In Sojourner Truth’s speech to the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851, she discusses both the abolition of slavery and women’s rights. During Truth’s life, enslaved people of African descent were denied basic human rights. At the same time, women were denied the right to vote or hold a political office. Women only had very few rights to property or earnings.


The poetic version of Truth’s speech emphasizes the painful experience of African American women who were enslaved. The phrase “13 children,” “almost all,” “cried out” and “grief” appeals to the reader’s emotions to create an aesthetic experience. Through this emotional response, the speaker conveys the central idea of the poem as being the importance of equal rights for African Americans and all women.

Why did Churchill replace Chamberlain as Britain's new prime minister shortly after World War II began?
Natasha2012 [34]

There should have been options to choose from for this question. I found the options elsewhere and the correct answer would be because Churchill had a better understanding of the situation with Hitler than Chamberlain did.

Churchill knew that diplomacy would not work with Hitler and the only way to reach a resolution was through military force and tactics.
