The Sonnet use rhyme scheme of abab, cdcd, efef,gg. It is believed Shakespeare addressed this sonnet to a younger lover. I believe the theme is We love something we know is going to be gone soon more than we love it in it's peak. It's the perceptive of someone that love something that he's sure gonna be eventually gone/ taken away form him.
This question is incomplete. According to a different source, this is the complete question:
<em>Identify the pronouns in the biography by typing possessive, subjective, objective, intensive, or reflexive next to each pronoun.</em>
Ambrose Bierce was a journalist. Many of his (possessive) newspaper columns focused on corruption, fraud, and people Bierce didn't like. Bierce had a biting wit, so people did not want to find themselves (reflective) the subject of one of his (possessive) columns. However, he (subjective) also had a very serious side to his writing. In fact, Bierce was disappointed with the war reporting of his (possessive) day, so he basically said, "I will do it myself (intensive) !" At the age of 71, he (subjective) rode alongside Pancho Villa's army as he (subjective) waged revolution across Mexico.
This is the best way to identify the pronouns found in this passage. In English, a pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. A noun is a word that is used to identify a thing or a set of things (living creatures, objects, places, actions, qualities, states of existence, or ideas). Pronouns are often used in order to avoid repeating a noun used previously.
Answer:
irrelevant
Explanation: The meaning of that word means "not important"
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.
