What are some examples of the use of figurative language in “Tribute to a Dog”? What is the impact of figurative words and phras

Yuliya22 [10]

Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following: 
♣ He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)
♣ The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. (Personification)
♣ A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
♣ He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)
♣ He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more. But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.

Which narrator is most clearly omniscient?

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B. The speaker felt his knees shaking. However, no one in the audience even knew he was nervous.

Explanation:

An omniscient narrator knows everything that happens before the story, during the story, after the story. The key pointer is the narrator knows every character's thoughts and feelings.

A. Vicente learned that opening a candy shop would be no easy task,

but that wouldn't stop him.

The narrator is only discussing Vicente's thoughts, so this could be first-person narration.

B. The speaker felt his knees shaking. However, no one in the

audience even knew he was nervous.

The narrator talks about the thoughts of both "the speaker" and the audience, so the narrator is omniscient.

C. "Stop, thief!" the guard shouted, but the thief was too quick and

made it over the castle walls.

This could be any third-person objective or limited narration. It's like similar to watching a movie; you aren't told what the characters are thinking.

D. Ting looked across the table and noticed the frown on her date's

face. Something must be wrong.

This could be first-person narration since we only know the thoughts for one character, Ting.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The passage has been re written using same old sequence but added new words that can intensify the character of Mr Valentine

Explanation:

Suddenly at 8:00 a.m., the doorbell rang. Paul walked to the door to see who rang the bell. When he opened the door, he discovered a short heightened, withered, white-haired man staring up at him with piercing blue eyes.

"Mr. Candor?" the man said in a voice that was much larger than he was. The voice was like there were more men speaking behind him. He started at me and then the home as if he was some investigating agency agent. He was carrying a bag which looked like a tool bag to me

"Uh, no, sir. My father isn't home right now" replied Paul.

"Mr. Paul Candor is who I'm looking for," said the man. "Is that you?"

"Oh, yes, sir. That's me. You must be my tutor," said Paul.

"Yes, I'm Mr. Valentine. Let's get to work."

The author describes a wall ""as if hewn from the side of a mountain."" Find other examples of figurative language. Why did the

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The author did not limit himself to literal language because he knew that figurative language would give more expressiveness and depth to the text.

As you did not show the text to which your question refers, it is not possible to show the use of figurative language in the text, but it is possible to state the reasons that led the author to use this type of language.

In the question above, we can see that the author made use of the simile, a figure of speech that allows the comparison between two elements, increasing the meaning between them.

This objective is very common in authors who use any type of figurative language in their texts. This is because figurative language can:

Intensify parts of the text.
Make the text deeper.
Show more expressiveness.
Create more impactful meanings.
Force the reader's thinking.

Approach topics with greater delicacy, or more aggressiveness.

It is important to emphasize that figurative language does not have a literal meaning of the words, but something more subjunctive, unlike the literal language.
