5. How does Wallace Stevens use figurative
language, specifically similes to discuss the death
of a soldier?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

Simile refers to the comparison of something with another which is unrelated. Wallace Stevens extensively used Simile in his poem titled, "The Death of A Soldier".

Life contracts and death is expected,

As in a season of autumn.

The soldier falls.

The above lines show that the death of a soldier in a battle is definite, just as the autumn season is sure to arrive.

He does not become a three-days’ personage,

Imposing his separation,

Calling for pomp.

These lines show that the death of a soldier does not command much recognition as in the death of a known personality/personage.

Death is absolute and without memorial,

As in a season of autumn,

When the wind stops.

These lines show that the death of a soldier is not remembered and this is compared to the season of the autumn when the wind stops.

When the wind stops and, over the heavens,

The clouds go, nevertheless,

In their direction.

These last lines further stress the fact that when the wind stops, signifying an end to the soldier's life, things continue as usual. So Wallace Stevens made good use of comparisons in this poem.

Answer: "And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father  and let on to be better'n what HE is."

Explanation:

In chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, his father is a vile man who was jealous of Huckleberry for having been the first person in the family to become literate especially whilst he himself was not.

He therefore resolves to end Huckleberry's education and tells him to stop going to school or else he would beat him and show people not to make a boy to become better then his father or his true self which is ironic because that is what education is meant to so, make a person better.

What two “sects” does Hume describe?

Answers

David Hume’s various writings concerning problems of religion are among the most important and influential contributions on this topic. In these writings Hume advances a systematic, sceptical critique of the philosophical foundations of various theological systems. Whatever interpretation one takes of Hume’s philosophy as a whole, it is certainly true that one of his most basic philosophical objectives is to discredit the doctrines and dogmas of traditional theistic belief. There are, however, some significant points of disagreement about the exact nature and extent of Hume’s irreligious intentions. One of the most important of these is whether Hume’s sceptical position leads him to a view that can be properly characterized as “atheism”.

The primary aims of this article are: (1) to give an account of Hume’s main arguments as they touch on various particular issues relating to religion; and (2) to answer to the question concerning the general character of Hume’s commitments on this subject.

1. Religious Philosophers and Speculative Atheists

2. Empiricism, Scepticism and the Very Idea of God

3. The Cosmological Argument and God’s Necessary-Existence

4. The Argument from Design

5. The Problem of Evil

6. Miracles

7. Immortality and a Future State

8. Hume’s Genealogy of Religion: Causes and Dynamics of Religious Belief

9. Religion and Morality

10. Was Hume an Atheist?

Answers

Answer:

The lesson learned by Bill and narrator is best expressed by phrase. Bill and narrator Sam learn that kidnapping is neither beneficial to their health not financially lucrative. Bill and Sam decide that the best way to finance their upcoming land swindle is to kidnap the child of a wealthy citizen and hold him for ransom.  The boy they choose, instead of being the docile, frightened child one would expect, is a terror who  abuses Bill in every way he can think of, all in the name of fun.  The response to their ransom note is not what they would have wished: instead of paying $1500 to get Johnny back, the father demands $250 to take the boy off their hands.  In desperation, they agree, and end the story poorer than they began. I hope this helps!!!

Which evidence from the text supports the conclusion that Brutus and Cassius are in conflict? Select two options. “Remember March, the ides of March, remember.” “Did not great Julius bleed for justice’ sake?” “one of us, / That struck the foremost man of all this world” “Brutus, bay not me. / I’ll not endure it.” “Away, slight man!”

Answers

The evidence that backs the conclusion that Brutus and Cassius have a conflict:

- ”Brutus, bay not me. / I’ll not endure it”

- “Away, slight man!”

Julius Caesar

The above detail substantiates the point that Cassius, as well as, Brutus are going through a clash between them.

The conflict initiates with Cassius' complaint that Brutus was ordering his assistants/juniors and in turn, the latter attacks him for taking bribes.

The cold words like "bay not me...not endure it" and "away" show the clash that they both are undergoing.

What is a compound sentence?

A compound sentence sometimes referred to as the FANBOYS, is made up of two or more independent clauses connected together by a comma and coordinating conjunction. Additionally, you can use a semicolon, conjunction adverb, and comma to separate independent clauses.

A coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, still, or so) plus a comma, or a semicolon alone, can be used to combine two independent clauses to form a compound sentence. As an illustration, the pirate captain misplaced her treasure map yet still discovered the hidden loot.
