B. They employ figurative language
Both of these excerpts engage the reader by making the text come alive. The first employs a metaphor when it says "<span>In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry". This metaphor is comparing the heritage in his friend's writing to a tortilla which then he extends into comparing to their souls.
The second piece employs imagery and personification when he describes "</span><span>the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head", showing that the trees are coming alive to show his friend that they are part of his heritage.</span>
I think its d, not an English major though.
<h3><u>Two dissimilar things is Whitman comparing when he uses the metaphor of a little house:</u></h3>
The poet Walt Whiteman has talked about the perfumes or smell of anything like a metaphor. He has related the sense of smell with the memories. He has talked about the smell of a house or a room. Also, at the same time, he has talked about the smell of books in the shelves.
The two dissimilar things he has mentioned which were specific about the house memories. One is the smell of the house or the room and the other is the smell of the books on the shelves. All the above two things remind us about our past memories.
Answer:
'The Taming of the shrew' talks about complexity of issues in love, marriage and society.
Explanation:
"The Taming of the Shrew" by "William Shakespeare" talks about love, whether it is romantic, platonic or filial. He talks about romantic relationship between a man and a woman when they take interest in each other and decide to get married. Both of them show their romantic side to their partner during the courtship and their love is both romantic and platonic during this time.
The theme 'filial' is depicted in the story when Shakespeare shows how parents play a significant role in life of their children who are about to get married. Lucentio and Bianca loved each other but he got permission to marry her only after convincing her father Baptista that he was very rich.
