Answer:

Connotation.

Explanation:

"Silence" poem is written by Marianne Moore. The poet speaks about the advice that the speaker's father has bestowed upon him/her in childhood. The advice given by the father was to be silent.

The literary device used in this line is connotation.

Connotation is the literary device which is used by the writer to suggest different meaning of the word than its literal meaning.

The word silence means willfully not expressing what one feels but restraint means a forceful suppression by which one is kept from speaking anything.

So, in the conclusive paragraph of the poem, the speaker is trying to say that her father is not teaching her to be silent, i.e., willfully not speaking but restraining her from speaking, meaning that even if she wants to speak she should keep silent.

So, the correct answer is connotation.

Where did the narrator live before she moved to The house on mango street? How were her previous homes different?
sveta [45]

Answer:

She lived in Keeler and later in Loomis, the difference is that in these places the family had to pay rent and share a part of the land with other people. In Mango street they paid no rent and had more privacy, as there was no need to share any part of the house with other families.

Explanation:

"The house oif mango street" tells the story of Esperanza, who lives in a Latin community with many social, economic and structural problems that limit her, but she refuses to accept this reality and dreams of having a better life than the one the circumstances it offers, but it will have to go through many challenges, many of them focused on the culture of its own ethnic group.

blagie [28]
The way I'd change it would be :

'Great White Sharks are quite fascinating creatures if you research the history that goes along with them. Their records are very ancient and they are one of the longest existing species to live on this earth today!'

It's a bit on the scientific side, but I hope I helped even a little.
