Hi! :)

Aside from using an English old style, Jack London, the author of the story of Keesh used a figurative speech. One of the lines in the story is “The anger boiled a white heat.”

The author used personification and metaphor in the story to describe or identify something that is related to or the same as some unrelated things.

Answer:

Hi! The figures of speech used in <em>The Story of Keesh</em>, by Jack London, are <em>repetition and metaphor.</em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

First, let's remember that a figure of speech is used by the authors to give the words or sentences a non-literal sense in order to create a rhetorical or vivid effect in the reader. Some of these figures of speech are repetition and metaphors.

In this particular case, <em>the author uses repetition and metaphors to give the reader a more vivid sense when approaching the theme of the story: sacrifice.  </em>So, his purpose in using those techniques is to <u>make the reader really live through his words, to make him/her feel the situations described as if it was  his/her own experience.</u>

Why did the caliphs demonstrate religious tolerance to Jews and Christians? The caliphs believed all three religions shared the
Phantasy [73]

Answer: The caliphs knew freedom of worship led to an overall stronger empire.

Freedom of worship has not been common in states of the past. However, whenever it has been implemented, it has led to stronger empires. An example is the Roman Empire. At its height, the Roman Empire controlled large areas of Europe, Africa and Asia. However, whenever they conquered a new territory, they allowed the people to continue to practice their traditional religion. The caliphs adopted a similar approach. Allowing other religions meant that the conquered population was happier, and that they rebelled less, contributing to the strength of the caliphate.

Match the transcendental authors to their works.
Rudik [331]

Answer:

“Nature“ – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Woman in the Nineteenth Century“ – Margaret Fuller  

“Walden“ – Henry David Thoreau

"Orphic Sayings" - Amos Bronson Alcott

Explanation:

<em>Nature </em>is a book written by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882) published in 1836. The book has a form of an essay, where the author discusses the relationship between humans and nature. According to Emerson, a man should find a sense of his life in nature and the universe that surrounds him and forget about money and any material goods.

<em>Woman in the Nineteenth Century</em> is an essay book by Margaret Fuller (1810 – 1846), published in 1843. In this essay, Fuller explains a women's position in society and explains that they aren't less capable than men. She criticizes gender inequality and society for establishing gender hierarchies and restricting women's rights.

<em>Walden </em>(<em>Walden, or, Life in the Woods</em>) is a book that consists of 18 essays by Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), published in 1854. Walden describes how simple and pleasant our lives could be, based on his life in nature, in the cabin he built at Walden Pond.

<em>Orphic Sayings </em>is a book of 100 aphorisms by Amos Bronson Alcott (1799 – 1888), published in the transcendental journal <em>Dial </em>between 1840 and 1842. These sayings show us the mystical and transcendental idealism of Bronson Alcott and reveal some of his thoughts about life, nature, faith, time, etc.

Harman [31]

The false premise in which Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" relies on to build his argument in this passage is that <em>The wealthy will be willing to buy and consume children</em>. Jonathan Swift writes about how Ireland is suffering for being under British rule. How impoverished couples have trouble feeding their children. Mothers have to beg on the streets carrying their children with them. It is also common, to see children begging on the streets. To avoid this, Swift suggests in a satirical way that women should sell their children to rich English landowners, so they can serve them as meals.
