These are from "young"

The first line states: "A Thousand doors ago" This is hyperbole. It shows that she thinks of this time a long long time ago.

Anne says: "the wise stars bedding over me" This is personification because stars cant actually be wise. I think Anne is trying to say that laying under the stars helps her think and is relaxing.  

Another hyperbole is: "and probably a million leaves", there wasn't actually a million leaves but it felt like it to Anne.

Another personification is: "yellow heat running out" This is just to bring the poem alive.  

There is also a simile: "and the boards of the house were smooth and white as wax" I think this is just to help you picture the poem's words.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.

Select the correct answer. Upon what source did John Bunyan model his writing style in The Pilgrim's Progress?
Licemer1 [7]

The source that modeled John Bunyan's writing style in <em>The Pilgrim's Progress </em>was a. the English Bible.

<em>The Pilgrim's Progress</em> (1678) is considered to be a Christian allegory. Besides being a writer, John Bunyan was also a Puritan preacher and that is why his works were all highly influenced by religion. In <em>The Pilgrim's Progress </em>all the characters of the story have names that are considerably significant, such as Christian, Evangelist and Goodwill.<em> The Pilgrim's Progress,</em> narrated by an omniscient narrator<em>, </em>tells the story of Christian's journey <u>from his hometown, the "City of Destruction," to the "Celestial City", which represents Heaven</u>. Furthermore, during his journey, Christian carries a book that is thought to be the Bible.<u> Bunyan’s selection of words, the use of direct and indirect  quotations from The Bible and the name of places such as the Palace Beautiful and the wall called Salvation also show the influence of the sacred text in the book</u>. In addition, <u>Bunyan resorts to a simple and colloquial but energetic language</u> that has also been taken from the Bible.
