Which type of figurative language is Bradstreet using in these lines from "Upon the Burning of Our House?"

"Thou hast an house on high erect,
Framed by that mighty Architect,
With glory richly furnished,
Stands permanent though this be fled."

A). Simile
B). Metaphor or extended metaphor
C). Personification
D). All of the above

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in these lines is:

B) Metaphor or extended metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. An extended metaphor happens when such a comparison continues throughout a series of lines in a poem. In Bradstreet's poem, we have the extended metaphor in which Heaven is compared to a house and God to an architect. Since this comparison lasts for at least four lines, we can say it is an extended metaphor. Bradstreet wrote this poem after a fire destroyed her house and her belongings. What she means in these lines is that God has a better place waiting for her. Even though her home here on Earth has been destroyed, she has a permanent, strong home waiting for her. A home God Himself prepared for her.

In at least 100 words, describe the effect of religion on early American literature.

Answers

Explanation:

The United States is officially a secular country. In the United States, according to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, there is no official religion, but the same Amendment guarantees the freedom of all religions. This is why, for example, veiled American Muslim women are legally allowed to attend government and academia.

Despite the separation of religion from politics in the United States, religion plays an important role in this country, symbolized by our reliance on God. In the 1920s, these groups were able to persuade the government to ban the production and consumption of alcohol [2] (the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, but with the escalation of violence following the spread of trafficking in the 21st Amendment) and to teach the theory of evolution. Religious groups, especially evangelical Protestants and Catholics, have taken a hard line on issues such as homosexuality, abortion, and co-education in American schools.

American Protestants are also divided into several denominations. Some of them number in the millions, while small churches have only thousands of members.

Some of America's most famous religious denominations are:

Episcopals, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Unitarians, Followers of Christ, The Dutch Reformed Church, Quakers and Congregationalists.

Answer:

The effect in which religion had on early American literature was tremendous. During that time, when Puritan settlers were just beginning to settle in their new homes, heavy topics of religion were incorporated into their American literature because they had wanted the freedom to practice their Puritan religion in their own way. These settlers, however, did eventually split up into further religious groups, which made religion a largely disputed topic, thus these religious settlers felt that it was necessary to incorporate their beliefs into their writings as well. Therefore, the effect that religion had on early American literature played a large role in making clear the beliefs and setting down religious boundaries of these different groups such as Puritans, Catholics, and Quakers.

Choose the sentence that uses parallel construction correctly. On vacation I will spend time reading, visiting museums, and go to my aunt's house. I always watch the annual fireworks, swimming in the lake, and hike to see the rocky coast. My plans for this summer include working out daily, watching movies, and going to the lake. My family's plans include travel by train, to visit an amusement park, and a tour of an aquarium.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that uses parallel construction correctly is:

C. My plans for this summer include working out daily, watching movies, and going to the lake.

Explanation:

For a structure to present a parallel construction, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallelism helps make the sentence easier to understand and more consistent. Let's take a look at each sentence:

A. On vacation I will spend time reading, visiting museums, and go to my aunt's house. - Parallelism should start after the word "time", since everything that comes after it is supposed to indicate what the speaker will spend time doing. The first two items are okay, using an "ing" form. The last one (go to my...) is different.

B.  I always watch the annual fireworks, swimming in the lake, and hike to see the rocky coast. - The second item is different in this case. While the other two use verbs agreeing with the first person singular, "swimming" uses "ing".

C. My plans for this summer include working out daily, watching movies, and going to the lake. - This one is CORRECT. The three items mentioned (working out daily, watching movies, and going to the lake) all use the same structure.

D. My family's plans include travel by train, to visit an amusement park, and a tour of an aquarium. - In this case, each item is different. The first one is a verb without "to". The second one is a verb with "to". The last one does not even present a verb. There is no parallelism at all.

Dear Jai:

I hope this letter finds you in great health and state of mind. I am writing to you to share with you how we arranged a surprise party for my parents on their Birthday.  First of all, exactly at 12 o ‘ clock we woke them up and took them to the drawing room (lights switched off); then as they entered the room and stood for a minute in the dark of the room, my sister who was standing hidden near the switchboard, switched on the lights. They were amazed and flabbergasted to see the drawing room decorated beautifully. The cake with ‘Happy Birthday!!!" written on it was waiting to be cut. After the cake cutting, we showered gifts on them. I had bought a latest smart watch for my dad and a necklace for my mom. This surprise party really made them very happy. The rest is fine. How is life at your side? Do give prayers to uncle and aunt.
