First, choose and read a few chapters of Psalms and Proverbs. As you read, you will notice several figures of speech. Write each scripture down and identify the type of figure of speech. Explain how the figure of speech helps a reader understand the message behind the words. Include five to ten examples of figurative language and their meaning.
Answer:
Explanation:
As a literary device, figures of speech enhance the meaning of written and spoken words. In oral communication, figures of speech can clarify, enhance description, and create interesting use of language.
It makes the sentence deeper and leaves the reader with a sense of wonder. It brings life to the words used by the writer. The figure of Speech not only shows the writer's intent but also his purpose in using such language. It adds flavour to the writing and makes it so much more enjoyable for the reader.Figurative language also makes ideas and concepts easier to visualize. It can bring clarity to abstract ideas, concepts, and feelings. Devices like imagery and onomatopoeia form a clear picture in the mind. Comparisons through metaphors, similes, and symbolism make complex ideas easier to understand.
Some common figures of speech are alliteration, anaphora, antimetabole, antithesis, apostrophe, assonance, hyperbole, irony, metonymy, onomatopoeia, paradox, personification, pun, simile, synecdoche, and understatement.
Learning figures of speech, like similes, metaphors or personification in English, helps the learners to improve their understanding of the figurative aspect of the language while also exposing them to the use and understanding of clichés and slangs.
The purpose of using figures of speech is to add richness to writing that will have an effect on the reader. By using these comparisons, it allows the reader to have a greater understanding and ability to imagine the situations being described in the writing. Figures of speech are means of expressing ones thoughts and emotions by adding intensity to the words used. It is a rhetorical way of speaking that uses words in distinctive ways. In simpler words, figures of speech are used to add an extra color as well as interest to awaken the readers or listeners.
Answer:
Psalm 1:5 It is a simile. It helps us because of the comparison.
Psalm 23:1 It is a metaphor. It compares things without the use of like or as.
Psalm 51:10 It is a metonymy. It substitutes one thing for another.
Psalm 18:7-8 It is a hyperbole. It exaggerates to help us understand.
Psalm 24:7 It is an apostrophe. It addresses a thing as if it were a human.

Use the excerpt from the story "True Reign" to answer the question.
Liana’s hands had been in the hot dishwater for so long, her fingertips were puckered. Blowing a strand of damp hair from her face, she wiped crusted food off a platter and handed it to Winnie, who struggled to keep up with the drying. Poor Winnie. At 14, she was just one year younger than Liana, but she was so skinny, she looked only 10. Sometimes, Liana snuck her food from her own plate, but they all got so little, there wasn’t much to share. Now, Cook clanged two pots into the basin, splashing Liana’s apron, which was already soaked.
“Winnie!” Cook yelled, one large hand holding a bowl of whipped cream. “Get yourself out to the dining room and help clear the dinner dishes!”
Liana watched Winnie go, wishing Cook had sent her, instead. The Prince was in the dining room this very minute. But Liana had a plan to set eyes on him one way or the other. She schemed as she scrubbed and scoured and sweated.
Suddenly, a girl’s scream came from the dining room. Then the double doors banged open and Mrs. Thorpe entered, dragging a girl by the shoulder. It was Winnie. All the color had drained from her face, and she could barely walk.
“You’re worthless!” Mrs. Thorpe shouted at her. “Can’t even bus dishes without getting in your own way.” She gave Winnie a little shove, letting go of her shoulder. Winnie crumpled to the floor—but Liana, who was coming toward the commotion, caught her.
Gently, Liana lowered her to the floor. “You’re burned! She’s burned,” Liana said to the innkeeper, examining Winnie’s arm, where a large red welt was already starting to blister. “How did this happen?”
“Girl didn’t have the good sense to step out of the way of a hot pan,” said Mrs. Thorpe. The innkeeper shifted her glare to Liana. “And you’ll find out soon enough what happens to girls who take that tone with me. Don’t you have a job to do?”
In Liana’s arms, Winnie was whining softly. “It’s all right, Winnie,” Liana whispered.
Now, the innkeeper leaned down to grab Liana’s arm. “I said—”
“Excuse me?” A young man was standing at the doors, which were still propped open. The innkeeper straightened, drawing in a breath as she realized the kitchen was in full view. “My sergeant has a salve that should ease the girl’s burn.”
“Thank you,” said Liana. The man was tall, with dark hair that curled to his shoulders and piercing green eyes. His trousers and tunic were simply styled, but well-made of rich, purple cloth. The buckles on his tall brown boots were forged in real silver.
“Thank you, my Lord,” said Cook, bending down to sweep Winnie into her arms. Bowing her head, she gave a brief curtsy. “This kitchen’s got no shortage of salve.” Cook turned to whisper in Winnie’s ear. “Cook will take care of you now, lovey.”
As Cook trudged from the kitchen, Liana stood, noticing for the first time that everything around her had stopped. The kitchen girls, the busboys, even the innkeeper stood, turned toward the man in the doorway, their heads bowed.
“Liana!” hissed one of the girls.
Liana looked around, then back at the man, who was staring at her, a half-smile on his lips. An amused look sparkled in his eyes. And then it dawned on her. She had laid eyes on the Prince, after all. Horrified, she bowed her head, giving herself a view of her soaked apron and general disorderly appearance. Keeping her head lowered, she snuck a look up at the Prince through her bedraggled hair.
He was still looking at her—and then he spoke to her. “What’s your name?”

Answer:
The theme of "The Queen Bee"by Carl Ewald was on Hardwork. This is because, the other bees wanted not to work for the farmer but to go out there in the field for other things but was called back by the Queen bee.
The theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes.
The Secret Life of Bees demonstrates the irrationality of racism by not only portraying black and white characters with dignity and humanity but by also demonstrating how Lily struggles with—and ultimately overcomes—her own racism.
