Ben growled at the man who parked too close to his car. He was always guarding his prized possession. Don’t get too close or he might bite!Which figure of speech, or literary device, does the author use in the passage?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:


I would like to believe that the figure of speech being used here is an idiom.

An idiom is a word or phrase which cannot be taken literally. Here, we see that the man is being compared to a dog and that he 'might bite'. The man will not really bite whoever gets close to the car, but he will get very upset!

What purpose should a well-crafted plot serve?

Answers

A well-crafted plot should have five main components:

1. Exposition (or background information): give the reader context as to the who, what, where, when, and why of the story

2. Rising Action: this is the events that lead up to the turning point of the story; they set up the story to get to the point of no return

3. Climax: the turning point, or point of no return, is when the story changes. It's called a climax because it's the highest point in the story.

4. Falling Action: this is the events that occur after the climax, which eventually make their way to the final component of the plot.

5. Resolution: this is essentially the ending. Conflicts are usually resolved and the reader leaves the story with the main theme in mind.

Answers

.A fable states the moral or lesson directly, while a satire often disguises the main argument.
