Explanation:

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech used for comparison. The difference between them is that a simile will rely on words such as "as" or "like", while a metaphor will not. Metaphors simply state "A is B", while similes state "A is like B."

A stanza, or verse, is a group of lines in a poem.

A rhyme is a repetition of sounds in the final words of different lines in a poem. In the case we are analyzing here, the words "cold" and "rolled" rhyme with each other.

Some words we use originate from the imitation of sounds produced by animals or objects. The word "bong" in the sentence imitates the sound a bell produces.

In a poem, rhythm is determined by a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. When such a pattern does not exist, we speak of cadence.

Symbolism uses something to represent something else, usually something simple or small to represent something bigger and more important. An example is a national flag, often associated with ideas of independence and freedom.

Finally, personification is a figure of speech in which human traits are attributed to inanimate objects. In the sentence, the author says the walls screamed, which is, realistically speaking, impossible. It is simply a way to emphasize the feeling of loneliness.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
