A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.
Metaphor is an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things.

Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.
Simile has to do with comparison of two things using as or like.

Which details should be included in an objective summary of the passage Going to Japan
To stomp about the world ignoring cultural differences is arrogant, to be sure, but perhaps there is another kind of arrogance in the presumption that we may ever really build a faultless bridge from one shore to another, or even know where the mist has ceded to landfall. When I finally arrived at Ground Zero in Hiroshima, I stood speechless. What I found there was a vast and exquisitely silent monument to forgiveness. I was moved beyond words, even beyond tears, to think of all that can be lost or gained in the gulf between any act of will and its consequences. In the course of every failure of understanding, we have so much to learn.

So I'm going into my freshman year in high school on August 12th and I wanted to ask some questions to you guys what can I do to survive my 9th grade year also study tips and things to do to be really good in class supplies I can use and how I can have a good GPA also want to talk about final exams and all that stuff
Answer: Be committed, do not be afraid to ask questions, track your grade, stand up for yourself, do not let your peers change you.
Explanation: The assignments are going to get hard, so you must stay committed and put in the effort. If you fall behind, it will be very difficult to get back up. Do not make a habit out of procrastination. If you don't understand something, do not be afraid to ask questions, if a good GPA is what your aim is, then it's important to get an understanding. Stay current with your grades, it's important to know your standings, so that you know what you mastered, and what still needs more practice. Always stand up for yourself, do not allow yourself to get picked on. If people see you to be weak, and an easy prey, they will challenge and clown you in order to boost their clout. And most importantly, do not allow your peers to change you. stay away from drugs, they're addictive, and they ruin your body. If your goal is to get good grades, then make sure your managing your time wisely. Your friends might want to talk during class, but it's important that you listen, they will want to hangout, but make sure you've mastered or have at least a decent understanding of all your class lessons before proceeding into leisure. Now remember, this is only if your goal is to be a good student. I on the other hand don't follow any of these rules except the "don't do drugs". I'm legit answering your question for brainly points so I can continue cheating my summer school homework lol. I'm not the best example, but I'm a Sophomore soon to be Junior in August who has a good concept and understanding of how High School works..
Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands. Which line from the excerpt provides clues about the setting?
Answer: Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes.
Explanation:
In this book about sacrificing people in a town to ensure a good harvest, the setting is hinted at by the above sentence.
The men spoke of planting, rain and taxes which would be associated with a rural community that relies a lot on agriculture. We can therefore conclude that this is most likely a town in the countryside where most people are focused on farming.

Like other Hemingway characters, Santiago is very much alone, "beyond all people in the world" (p. 50); yet he says, "No man was ever alone on the sea" (p. 61). Why? Does he feel joined with the creatures and universe or strengthened and sustained by them in any way? Do his dreams of the lions or reflections about his earlier strength support him?
Answer and Explanation:
Santiago feels that no man is alone when he is at sea, because he knows that the sea is full of creatures and that when a man enters that environment, he becomes one of those creatures, as he faces the same dangers and reaps the same benefits. Therefore, this man becomes a sea creature and is accompanied by a number of other sea creatures, who will never leave him while he is at sea. He feels united with the creatures of the sea and supported by them at the same time. This feeling of belonging to the sea and the creatures that inhabit it is an inner reflection of Santiago, which is extended to any place in nature, as we can see through his dreams of lions, as he associates youthfulness, strength and behavior that he already had a day.
It is important to remember that Santiago is a character in "The Old Man and the Sea", a book that shows how an extremely strong fish, stimulates reflections on life, death, youth and time to Santiago, an old fisherman, tired and no luck.
Which statement best describes the effect of rhythm on this excerpt? The rhythm suggests the cautious approach of a new acquaintance. The rhythm supports the fast pace of the narrator's immature love. The rhythm mirrors the lazy wandering of people strolling. The rhythm imitates the weary advancement of old age.
Answer:
The rhythm supports the fast pace of the narrator's immature love.
Explanation:
In William Butler Yeats' poem "Down by the Salley Gardens", the speaker is a lover who meets his beloved "down by the salley gardens". And being young, the speaker reveals his love for her, depicting the fast-paced nature of his immature love.
In the given lines from the poem, the speaker reveals how they met. The speaker admits, "I, being young and foolish" would not agree with her advice to take "love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree".
Throughout the four lines given, the rhythm focuses on the fast-paced nature of the speaker's love for 'his love', though immature.
Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
