What is the literary device in this quote by Tuesdays with Morrie ?


"I felt his weakened hands on my arms, the thin stubble of his whiskers brushing my face. "

The literary device used in the quote is Metaphor. Notice that the stubble on the face of the male persona here is compared to whiskers without using the words "as" or "like".

A metaphor is a literary device that compares two things or subjects that have nothing in common without the use of the words

"like"or "as".

For example, "Their faces were sunshine" is a metaphor while "their faces shone like the sun" is a simile.

Hence the literary device used in the quotes is a Metaphor.

Passage 1

from Pyramus and Thisbe
a Roman myth

Pyramus was the handsomest youth, and Thisbe the fairest maiden, in all Babylonia, where Semiramis reigned. Their parents occupied adjoining houses; and neighborhood brought the young people together, and acquaintance ripened into love. They would gladly have married, but their parents forbade. One thing, however, they could not forbid that love should glow with equal ardor in the bosoms of both. They conversed by signs and glances, and the fire burned more intensely for being covered up. In the wall that parted the two houses there was a crack, caused by some fault in the structure. No one had remarked it before, but the lovers discovered it. 'What will love not discover? It afforded a passage to the voice; and tender messages used to pass backward and forward through the gap. As they stood, Pyramus on this side, Thisbe on that, their breaths would mingle. "Cruel wall," they said, "why do you keep two lovers apart? But we will not be ungrateful. We owe you, we confess, the privilege of transmitting loving words to willing ears." Such words they uttered on different sides of the wall; and when night came and they must say farewell, they pressed their lips upon the wall, she on her side, he on his, as they could come no nearer.

Passage 2

In the following excerpt of Romeo and Juliet, the scene takes place outside of Juliet's window. Romeo wants to find Juliet, and he hears her lament their situation.

from Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare

Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name!
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo: [aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy.
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

giving brainliest and 50 points please give explanation


in 1925, there was an outbreak of disease in the small Alaskan town of Nome. The people needed medicine, but there were no roads, and the harsh weather made it impossible for a plane to reach them. The only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled. Twenty teams of dogs, each with a handler, or musher, braved dangerous conditions to bring the medicine from Nenana, Alaska, along the Iditarod Trail to Nome. The first team to set out was led by a dog named Togo. Togo was a small, black and white husky who had spent most of his life pulling sleds. When he was a puppy, his owner, Leonhard Seppala, never thought he would be a good sled dog. Togo was smaller than most dogs on the team. He was ill when he was very young, and at six months old, he was given away to be a house pet. Togo did not last long as a pet. He escaped several times to return to the sled dog kennels. He ran after the team every day on their training runs, and eventually, he was given a chance to run in harness. He had found his purpose. Togo was a natural leader, and he was the dog Leonhard Seppala trusted the most. During the run from Nenana, he led his team through life-threatening situations. One night, when the darkness and snow made it impossible for Seppala to see where they were going, and they were in grave danger from the below-zero temperatures, Togo courageously led the team across a frozen lake, avoiding the broken areas of ice. He navigated to the rest stop, saving his team from freezing in the blizzard. Togo's team brought the medicine almost 200 miles, crossing a mountain with an elevation of more than 5,000 feet and swimming through ice floes on the other side. They reached their drop-off point and passed the medicine to the next team. After the drop-off, Togo rested for a while before taking off with some of the other dogs on his team to chase reindeer. It was like a small vacation after his hard work. The last team to carry the medicine was led by another dog, Balto. Balto's team made it to Nome in the nick of time. The medicine saved the town, and Balto was hailed as a hero dog. A statue of him was built and displayed for all to admire. Even though Togo faced greater danger and ran farther than Balto, most people honored only Balto. Togo was truly an unsung hero with the heart of a lion. Today, the dogsled journey to save Nome is remembered as the Great Race of Mercy, and every year, a dogsled race along the Iditarod Trail is run to remember the courageous and determined dogs who saved the people of Nome.

Which reason supports the author's point that the only way to get medicine to Nome was by dogsled?

Sled dogs lived in kennels and learned to work well together in terrible weather.

Teams of dogs needed a handler, or musher, as well as a lead dog to control them.

The Iditarod Trail ran from Nenana, Alaska to Nome, where the medicine was needed.

There were no roads and harsh weather, but dogs could travel in dangerous conditions.​
