The crowd has gathered on the shore to welcome home the ship and celebrate the victory that has been won. They are eager to celebrate the captain responsible for this great victory.

However, this poem is not really about a captain and a ship. Instead, this poem is about Abraham Lincoln, the captain of America. The battle, then, is the Civil War. The crowd is celebrating the fact that the war has ended, but sadly the captain is not alive to enjoy the victory, as Lincoln was assassinated.

<span>The use of allusion in the title and epigraph of Nectar in a Sieve helps to emphasize the novel’s themes of loss and hope 

Nectar in a Sieve alludes to the slow drain of the life force of an individual here on earth. The nectar represents live and the sieve, since it is a sifter/filter, slowly drains the nectar until it falls to the ground and become useless.

I was quaking from head to foot, and I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. What is the most likely meaning
gayaneshka [121]
Hyperbole I think. Because it says he was quaking from head to foot, so sounds like he’s scared. So the hyperbole that means his eyes are wide with fear seems to make sense.

Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
kotykmax [81]

The first option is the answer: <em>Titinius feels guilty that Cassius is dead, and decides he must kill himself.</em>

How I built the conclusion:

Firstly, the act starts with a conversation between Messala and Titinius. Then, Messala EXITS, so a monologue by Titinius starts (Since he's the only one in the scene, there's no need to identify the speaker, as there was previously when Messala was also present).

Since he's alone, and speaking with a sorrow tone when he starts to 'talk' to Cassius, it can be assumed that Cassius is dead. And apparently, Brutus had previously instructed Titinius to give a garland (the <em>wreath of victory</em>) to Cassius. (The notice of Cassius death is probably the report that would <em>thrust Brutus' ears</em>, and what Messala left to tell him, in the first place). Finally, he decides he will still accomplish his mission (<em>Brutus' bidding</em>) by also dying (as giving Cassius his garland in the afterlife).

So with the <em>gods' leave</em> (in this context, permission), he meets his <em>Roman's part</em> (separation from Rome - material world). And he finally conclude the deed by 'inviting' <em>Cassius' sword </em>to find <em>Titinius' heart </em>(his own heart - thrusts a sword into his chest).

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.
