“But old fears have a way of clinging like cobwebs, and so when we sighted the tumbledown shack, we had to stop to reinforce our nerves” (paragraph 19).

* I need to know what type of figurative language each one of these are and a little examples of how the figurative language is used in context.

Answers

Answer:

“Memory is an abstract painting--it does not present things as they are, but rather as they feel”

Metaphor: It compares a memory to the likes of an abstract painting.

“Poverty was the cage in which we were all trapped, and our hatred of it was still the vague, undirected restlessness of the zoo-bred flamingo who knows that nature created him to fly free”

Metaphor: They used the example of a captivity-bred flamingo to compare to the feeling of being trapped, in which poverty may give you. And as for the second part of this passage, the author explains how although the flamingo, as like a penguin, was never meant to fly, it feels as though he is meant to do so, just as people in poverty are given the feeling that they are being held back from the money they could be making or the things they could be doing

“The half-dawn light was more eerie than complete darkness, and in it the old house was like the ruin that my world had become--foul and crumbling, a grotesque caricature”

Imagery: (Since I'm in 6th grade I don't really understand how imagery is figurative language because as far as I know it isn't but everyone keeps telling me that's the answer to this question when I answer elsewhere so here goes) Imagery is where an author uses words to vividly describe a moment in literal work. As you read the passage, you can tell it is fairly descriptive and allows you to imagine it clearly in your head. It explained the eeriness of the almost dawn light and the old house and it's comparison to their life.

*these next one I'm a bit unsure of, so it will be best to check with someone of more experience

“But old fears have a way of clinging like cobwebs, and so when we sighted the tumbledown shack, we had to stop to reinforce our nerves”

Simile: They compare old fears to cobwebs (as they are fairly sticky and hard to get rid of) with the word like.

She pushed me down to the dirt and forcefully shoved one foot onto my chest— pushing me down as I struggle to get up like a fish out of water. She smiled kindly at me and continued to push me down as I writhe under her touch. Her smile was warm, but as she watched me struggle helplessly, a dark, sadistic shadow graced her elegant visage.

“Poor, poor, child..” She cooed, as if mocking me. The blade of her katana gently caressed my neck. “Fighting back won’t help you anymore. Just give up. It’s much more easier.”

She roughly shoved me further onto the ground. Tears were threatening to leak from the corners of my eyes. She was too strong. A beginner demon slayer like me could never beat her. No, thinking like this would never get me anywhere.

Glaring at her with sheer determination, I use all my strength to push her off and get back up on my feet. I spat out some blood that was dribbling onto my chin. Its metallic flavor feuling my anger and will power.

“I refuse to lose. Not without a fight, hashira.” I fix my stance and position my katana. Concentration is key. “Water-breathing. Third form.”

She smiled kindly and positioned her katana—ready to fight. “I’m glad you have such resolve, Kiyari.”

I didn’t hear her words, all I could focus on was the blood pumping through my body. Like water rushing from a river. I slowly open my eyes as the water circles around me. Water-Breathing Third form was just like any other forms. But this was different. It felt more... powerful... It was like a tsunami was rising and about to hit the rocks on the beach. Even the Insect Hashira, Shinobu, smile tensed up as if she were surprised by the aura reflecting off of me.

“Yare, yare, you won’t be able to walk after this move, Kiyari.”

I don’t care anymore. All I can see is the waves splashing around me. Soaking my loose kimono and licking at my hair. I’m in a state of limbo. Pain doesn’t matter to me anymore. I close my eyes. I don’t care anymore.

I run with all my strength and slice. I don’t know what I sliced. But it felt important to me.

I open my eyes. There I see an insect hashira smiling at me as her half of her mask falls apart and shatters to the ground. The other half soon follows and hits the dirt. The fragile material of the mask shining in the grace of the moon.

I look up at the sky. It’s midnight. How long had we been fighting?

I look back at Shinobu in shock. She smiles kindly, this time, with true genuine happiness for me.

“Congratulation, my child.” She bowed respectfully. I quickly answered back with another bow. “You have passed the exam.”

Bo oty raids not only enrich the raid-leader and his men, but also serve as a test of their manliness, skill, and courage, and thus bring honor and glory. Whether on a raid or in a war, the basileus is the one most severely tested, for he is literally the leader, stationing himself ‘among the front-fighters.’ The leader is obliged to risk his life fighting at the front of his army (a custom that persisted throughout ancient Greek history). In return for his leadership, the demos in under obligation to provide the basileus with honors and material gifts.”

What happened to Simon as the older boys were walking to find the beast and Simon was thinking about how it doesn't make any sense that a beast could not catch two little boys running down the mountain.

Simon suggests that the boys climb the mountain to find out if there really is a beast. The boys react with fear and even Piggy, who doesn't even believe in the beast, doesn't understand what good that will do. Simon Shen asks "What else is there to do?" This implies that the only way not to fear the beast is to face it. We then follow Simon up the mountain where he sees the brutal killing of the female pig.

At first Simon responds saying that he doesn't know whether the beast truly exist or is just a myth. But moments just a moment later he says 'but...', then the rest of the children started talking and everyone kept chattering until Ralph shouted "hear him out!'" Now that everyone was silenced Simon got a chance to continue speaker, he finished off what he said by saying "What i mean is.... maybe it's only us."
