Identify the italicized figure of speech.

English

Usimov [2.4K]2 years ago

You didn't italicize any words, so I will just try to explain the figures of speech you have listed above, and hopefully that will help you.

1. hyperbole - this is exaggeration. For example, 'I waited for him for a hundred years' to denote you had to wait for someone for a longer period of time. You didn't really wait for him for a hundred years - it is an exaggeration. Poets and writers often use this figure of speech in order to make a statement, and impact on the reader. I can't see examples of hyperbole in this excerpt, so I wouldn't choose that as the correct option here.

2. paradox - paradox is a figure of speech in which you combine two things which are opposite from each other in nature. It creates an absurd phrase because two contradictory statements are brought together, such as 'drinking a lot of water can make you thirsty.' I can see an example of paradox in the excerpt above, which is "day brought back my night." Day and night are each other's opposites, which makes a paradox if they are brought together like this. 

3. understatement - this is a figure of speech which authors use when they want to make something appear to have a lesser value than it actually has; when they want to demean something as being less important that what it seems. An example of an understatement would be the following - you get a lot of money at a lottery, and when asked how you feel about it, you say 'I'm happy.' You would obviously feel much stronger emotions if this happened. I don't see instances of understatement here either.

I would choose paradox as the correct answer here.

Summarize the plot of part one of King Arthur’s Socks.
gulaghasi [49]
The plot is rather simple, two people who are married to other people fall in love with each other and want to be together but can't because of their respective marriages. The entire play is just one part, or one act, and it's a comical version of the commonly understood Arthurian characters and cliches.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

It illustrates internal dialogue.

Explanation:

In graphic novels, the thought bubble is used to show internal dialogue. The term that is more widely used is <em>internal monologue</em>. In literature, a dialogue is a conversation between two or more characters, and a monologue is a speech presented by one character in order to show their thoughts. When those thoughts remain inside a character's head, we have an internal monologue/dialogue. In graphic novels, we can get insight into those thoughts thanks to thought bubbles.
