Below are several additional allusions--to what to they refer? Do you recognize any of them as allusions? What do you think Bradbury is trying to say by using these allusions?

a. "Great thing about midwifing mysteries is, you don't have to boil water or wash up." (Colonel)
Answer:

b. "Any Monitors or Merrimacs sailing up the lake, dirigibles falling on the Masonic
Temple and squashing six thousand Masons at a time?" (Colonel)
Answer:

C. "End of Act One, Charlie. Start thinking fast. Act Two coming up. We do want
this commotion to last forever, don't we?"
"Yes, sir--"
"Crack your brain, boy. What does Uncle Wiggily say?"
"Uncle Wiggily says--ah--go back two hops?"|

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Allusion to midwives and the birth of babies.

B. Allusion to Masonry.

C. Allusion to Uncle Wiggily.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech that allows a text to make a reference, a quote, about a person, a place, a book, profession, work of art, a film, among other things. In short, an allusion is a reference to any element that is not part of the text, but that is used to promote greater understanding and association at the time of reading.

The allusions made above were used to promote an extension of the meaning of each sentence, so we can say that the author used the allusions to create concepts that would allow the reader to better understand what he was reading.

Jason had a birthday party at his favorite Mexican restaurant.
v s ||LV|SC|DO| 10 OC

Answers

Answer:

Jason - subject

had - verb

a birthday party - direct object

at his favorite Mexican restaurant - prepositional phrase

Explanation:

The subject of a sentence is the topic, that is, what the sentence is about. The sentence we are analyzing here is talking about Jason, so "Jason" is the subject. The verb "had" is not a linking verb, but an action verb. Its meaning is completed by the direct object that follows. We can ask the verb a question: What did Jason have? A birthday party (direct object). Finally, a prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and complements. In this case, the prepositional phrase "at his favorite Mexican restaurant" provides information as to where the birthday party was thrown.

AUTHOR'S STYLE RHETORICAL DEVICES A. DIRECTIONS: Identify four rhetorical devices in this excerpt from a persuasive speech. Explain the effect the author achieves with each one. You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote. We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman. It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty

Answers

Answer:

A

1. Parallelism

2. Anaphora

3. Alliteration

4. Epiphora

B

1. To get ahead, a person needs to have good goals, study hard and plan well for the future.

2. The professor needs to either publish more books or work with his students.

3. She is having good days, bad days, long days and short days.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

(B)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna, could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(C)Washing her hands at the sink Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.
(D)Washing her hands at the sink, Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

'Washing her hands at the sink' shows us what is going on at the moment. 'Jenna could not answer the phone when her friend, Alice, called.' shows the problem. And the reason you need a comma before and after 'Alice' is that her name is added information but not needed.

In the end, does Austen seem to favor sense or sensibility as a character trait? Explain your answer with a close analysis of the text. Your answer should be at least 100 words.

Answers

Answer:

In the end, it seems to me that Austen favored sense. Sense even used in diabolical ways such as Lucy's seduction of Richard and betrayal of Edward brings about the outcome of choice.   Elinor's sense is more realistic than Marianne's sensibility. Although Jane Austen's is sure to show the benefits of passion,  Elinor's reason contrasts Marianne's sensibility throughout. Austin is sure to point out the downfalls of sensibility. At the end of this novel,  Marianne's idealism is guided by sense. She has grown up and now sees the prudence of using reason to temper passion. Austen artfully brings the two narratives together in the conclusion.

When you read for pleasure, your only goal is enjoyment. You might find yourself reading to get caught up in an exciting story, to learn about an interesting time or place, or just to pass time. Maybe you’re looking for inspiration, guidance, or a reflection of your own life. There are as many different, valid ways of reading a book as there are books in the world.

When you read a work of literature in an English class, however, you’re being asked to read in a special way: you’re being asked to perform literary analysis. To analyze something means to break it down into smaller parts and then examine how those parts work, both individually and together. Literary analysis involves examining all the parts of a novel, play, short story, or poem—elements such as character, setting, tone, and imagery—and thinking about how the author uses those elements to create certain effects.
