The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

1) A nun looked at the narrator's house as if it were a terrible place to live.

2) She is the more carefree child, the one who has her own opinions.

  • She is using the wild description of her hair to imply that she is also wild. It wouldn't be choice B, because that's too literal; and C and D don't make sense.

3) She feels like her family is holding her back from opportunities and experiences.

  • If she had stopped with the balloon, it would have been a happy metaphor. But a balloon tied to an anchor? Can't fly, can't go anywhere with the anchor holding it down.

4) She and Nenny's laughter is loud and grabs the attention of anyone nearby.

  • She's contrasting it with Rachel and Lucy. It's not orthodox, it's carefree and noisy.

5) She feels ashamed that she and Nenny have no money to buy anything.

  • Nenny asks how much the music box is, but Gil doesn't even offer it because he knows they don't have any money. Esperanza knows, though.

6) She wishes she had a different name than Esperanza.

  • The author is contrasting the two worlds, the hispanic and american, that they live between. Her name is hard to pronounce, and she connects it with sadness and longing.

Discuss how Edwin Arlington Robinson’s use of language and imagery affects the meaning of “Aunt Imogen.” Cite evidence from the
Eddi Din [679]

The use of language and imagery that Edwin Arlington Robinson uses in his poem "Aunt Imogen" helps to create and shape the tone of the poem and add a deeper meaning. One example of imagery would be " That looked across the fields; and Imogen / Gazed out with a girl’s gladness in her eyes, / Happy to know that she was back once more / Where there were those who knew her, and at last / Had gloriously got away again." The language and descriptions that Robinson gives of this particular moment create a sense of wonder and happiness. It shows Aunt Imogen as being joyful and content, enjoying the view from the window and having fun. The language he uses also eludes to a beautiful view, giving the audience a sense of what it must be like to look out of that window. Robinson as uses imagery and language to show some of the more serious aspects of the poem, such as Aunt Imogen's internal struggles. " There was the feminine paradox—that she / Who had so little sunshine for herself / Should have so much for others. How it was / That she could make, and feel for making it, / So much of joy for them, and all along / Be covering, like a scar, and while she smiled" This description shows that Aunt Imogen is more than just a simple woman and that she has struggles of her own. This description changes the way that the audience and readers view the character of Aunt Imogen.

Answer:

D. Prophecy

Explanation:

Shakespeare uses supernatural elements such as witches, dagger and Banquo's ghost in his drama "Macbeth". Banquo's ghost appears in act 3, scene 4,  This act foreshadows the prediction of witches and further actions in the drama.

The emphasized supernatural element in Macbeth is a prophecy. It tells that Macbeth will be the king. The prophecy is important because it has a great impact on Macbeth. It is a true prophecy and Macbeth became a king.

The prophecy contains three predictions. One is that he will become Thane of Cawdor. The second is that he will be the king. The third refers to Banquo and that he will not be a king.
