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

of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It is hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear. It is a simile that means that the author's hat was falling over his eyes. It is an oxymoron that means that the author could not see anything. It is personification that means that the author's eyes were too big for his face.

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.

Debora [2.8K]

In this excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart,” Poe repeats the words "feel" in lines 85 and 86, and "stealthily" in line 91.

The repetition of the word "feel" is intended to create a pace of suspense and horror, as well as to make the reader feel the emotions the narrator and the old man feel. Thus, repetition represents the beating of the two men's hearts.

The recurrence of the word "stealthily" also suggesst how vile and deceitful the narrator is. In fact, he is entering the old man's house to kill him.

Analyze how imagery contributes to the meaning and style in this excerpt from Thoreau’s book, Walden. Cite evidence from the tex
SSSSS [86.1K]
Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>
