Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Personification is a figure of speech that relates human characteristics to other things while simile compares two different things with each other with an aid of words which denote comparison.

In the poem, legs are being compared with human abilities which fall under personification, while the speaker’s existence is being compared to running which makes it an example of simile.

The events that led to their demise started from the delivery of the letter to them. That letter had the order to kill hamlet. But hamlet changed it to condemn both Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

The poem is probably from which of the following literary movements?

Romanticism

Answers

1. C) Hyperbole

In literature, hyperbole is a way of writing in an exaggerated manner used to emphasize, to add humor or to gain attention on something. It is common to use words or phrases that are obviously false, such as the ones that Oscar tells his friend. Oscar emphasizes how much he walked to get home, and how tiring and unpleasant it was by stating exaggerated facts, like "this is the hottest day in the history of the world", if this statement were true, he would not make it out alive to his home.

2. A)  It applies to both myths.

In the first myth, the character who is the transgressor as well is punished by being killed. And in the second myth, the transgressor is punished by being the father of a cursed race of people. From this, we can conclude that "transgressors are punished".

3. C) Customs

What a group of people does to obtain food is part of their custom as it is something that they must do every day for the rest of their lives, and there is a difference between a group that hunts to get their food or a group that is total vegan, as it tells us something about their beliefs, traditions and customs.

4. A) Allusion

An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone that is commonly known by people. When authors put reference about people (In this case, the Egyptian god, Ra), they do it because they know beforehand that the person is commonly known, and most readers would understand to whom they are referring too without giving much information.

5. C)  Naturalism

Naturalism was a literary movement that became popular in the U.S. at the end of the 19th century, and it was characterized for depicting topics and themes of poverty,  low moral compass,  scientific principles to explain the causes of events, among others. And when it came to poems, they rarely rhymed as they were focused on conveying an idea, just as the poem Josie studied. about poverty in school.

3. This question address to the cultural context of lifestyle, because it's about the way people in this culture use to do everyday tasks.

4. The author is using the allusion literary device, because is making a reference to someone, in this case the Egyptian god, Ra.
