They focus on characters, customs, and language common to a particular region.

When an author uses local color, he/she is using characters, customs, and language common to a particular region. The characters may be considered stereotypical, but they can help to create a specific image. This can help create setting and also add to the plot. In the movie Brave, the writers use a variety of color. The language spoken by the characters has a Scottish accent, the food and activities the characters partake in a typical customs. The will-o'-the-wisps (blue lights) are also important characters in Scottish culture.

arlik [135]

The correct answer is: Each author uses figurative language.

Indeed, the first author uses figurative language (he took the tortillas out of his poetry) which is followed by a very explicit explanation, that the character in question “took the soul out of his poetry”. This use of figurative language is effective in eliciting an emotional response from the reader by the pathos of the premise, that removing foreign, Mexican Spanish words from the character’s poetry also removes its soul, in other words, its identity.

The second author also uses figurative language and there is a hint of irony in the description that immediately follows the dialogue. The immediate landscape is used to show the “heritage-deprived” person that he actually does have a heritage. In other words, he does not need to be a hyphenated American in order to have a heritage because it is right there “dangling over his head”.

The symbolism of the “tall American tree” is used to show how the speaker of these lines that America has its own heritage, which lies in its history, its melting pot and its territory and he cannot even see it.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Using a historical perspective helps the reader understand that Nnaemeka’s decision to marry Nene goes against long-standing traditions. He marries for love instead of taking part in an arranged marriage. He also marries outside of his tribe. As a result of his choice, his father shuns him. A feminist perspective reveals the marriage also goes against patriarchal values in this society. Women are expected to be homemakers. However, Nene is a teacher and does not fit the expectation. Both perspectives help the reader understand opposition to the marriage. However, one approach focuses on tradition, while the other focuses on the treatment of women in their culture.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

A). Another argument parents often make is that children spend too much time on social media.
