<u>Answer:</u>

The universal symbolism that has been used in the book is Mississippi. This is, therefore, the river Hunk, and Jim used to pass to the other side. Consequently, it has been used literally to mean transportation means that helped them to move down the river. It also implies freedom that the characters used in escaping even though whatever they were running from was completely different.

According to Jim, the river was a symbol of freedom because he used the river to run away from slavery and from being sold far away from his family and home.

Answer:

1. Direct characterization

2. Indirect characterization

3. Direct characterization

4. Direct characterization

5. Indirect characterization

Explanation:

In direct characterization, the author simply tells the readers which personality traits a character possesses.

In indirect characterization, however, the author describes different situations to show us the personality of a character. This is achieved through the character's speech, thoughts, actions, effect on others, and appearance.

For instance, to describe Jolene, the author uses direct characterization, as he/she simply lists her character traits - attentive, helpful, etc. When it comes to Shana, however, the author describes her reaction when her dog disappeared, and it is our task to conclude which character traits she might possess.

Which sentence uses sarcasm to make a funny point?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

<em>My car looks brand new with its rusted fender and dented doors.</em>

Explanation:

Sarcasm is when someone say something opposite to the actual scenario, to mock something just to make it funny in a delighted way of humor. <em>"My car is brand new"</em> is totally opposite to <em>"it's rusted fender and dented doors". </em>

Clearly his car is old, has rusted fender and dented doors which means  poorly managed, but he for the sake of laugh or to make it funny mentioned it a brand new car.
