Todd Gitlin is an university professor. He wrote an essay called “The Liberal Arts in an Age of Info-Glut“ where he explain in details the television watching habits of most Americans.  

Mr.Gitlin claimed that an average U.S. citzen watches TV for four hours a day, every single day. He said that people mostly watch entertainment shows, fiction, game shows, commercials, mass media facts and trailers which, in his opinion, do not contribute at all when it comes to education, information and developing morals.

He wanted the reader to think about it and understand his point of view. According to Mr.Gitlin, people who spend too much time on TV lack on reliable information and sources and do not have the necessary tools in order to become a clever and educated citzen, aware of the world’s issues and able to discuss complicated matters. He also claimed that because of it, studying liberal arts in times of mass media has become even more relevant now than ever.

What is the effect of the figurative language used in this excerpt? Check all that apply.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1). It reveals Hamlet’s anger with himself.

4). It reveals Hamlet’s hesitation to act.

Explanation:

The figurative language implies the employment of 'figures of speech' or literary devices that aids the authors to express a connotative meaning to the content that requires to be inferred by the readers and therefore, such language compels them to imagine or apprehend the meaning of the work.

As per the question, the effect created by the figurative language employed in the given excerpt would include that it aids to 'reveal or disclose Hamlet's anger with himself' that reflects his feelings of guilt('I should have fatted')and impotence('what an a** am I') to take the necessary actions to revoke his previous actions. Then, the figurative language also assists to display 'Hamlet's hesitation to act' which is reflected through the use of phrases like 'I am pigeon-liver’d' and 'lack gall'. Therefore, <u>options 1 and 4</u> are correct.
