All of the quotes are examples of foreshadowing from "The Swimming Contest", by Benjamin Tammuz, except <em>"My Abdul-Karim is a fine, loyal man. Don't you tease him."</em> All the other quotes are foreshadowing what will happen later in the story. Foreshadowing is when an author gives the reader clues or suggestions that will happen later. Frequently, future events are merely hinted through dialogue, as in this case.

What deprivation does Robinson Crusoe complain about most often during his stay on the island?
ElenaW [278]
<span>Crusoe is deprived of his fortune while nevertheless retaining his faith in Providence. This passage also showcases Crusoe’s characteristic neutral tone—the detached, deadpan style in which he narrates even thrilling events. Although he reports that the emotional effects make his heart flutter, he displays very little emotion in the passage, certainly not the joy expected of someone who suddenly becomes wealthy. </span>

What are some examples of the use of figurative language in “Tribute to a Dog”? What is the impact of figurative words and phras
Yuliya22 [10]
Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it. 

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following: <span>
   ♣ </span>He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. <span>(Personification) 
   ♣ </span><span>The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.</span><span>  (Personification) 
   ♣ </span>A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)
   ♣ <span>He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor) 
   ♣ H</span><span>e is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile) 
These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more.  But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case. </span>
