Early in act ii, the audience learns that demetrius has gone into the woods to find hermia and lysander and that helena has followed him. demetrius tells helena to leave him alone. helena’s response is: you draw me, you hard-hearted adamant! but yet you draw not iron, for my heart is true as steel. leave you your power to draw, and i shall have no power to follow you. what literary terms are used to show how she feels about him? question 8 options: adamant—an extremely hard stone—was believed to be magnetic and saying demetrius is a magnet and she is a piece of metal inescapably drawn to him. this is a metaphor used to show she can't escape him. true as steel means “constant, reliable" and this is a simile. steel is processed so that it becomes extremely strong. it is stronger than iron, which is brittle and breaks easily. her love is as strong as steel. she uses imagery that is masculine (adamant and steel) to describe her feelings to show that things are backwards in their relationship. the male should pursue the woman. she should not be chasing after him. all of the above.

Javier is writing a literary analysis of the secret garden. read this introduction to his essay. frances burnett’s “the secret garden” explores the challenges of a sickly, self-centered little girl named mary lennox. after mary’s parents die of cholera, she moves from india to england to live at her uncle’s estate in yorkshire. while living at the old estate, mary discovers an abandoned garden that belonged to her deceased aunt. tending to the neglected garden brings mary joy, and her health improves. through mary’s transformation, burnett presents nature as a symbol of rebirth and healing. which piece of textual evidence should javier use to support the claim made in the introduction? a. “‘it’s in the garden no one can go into,’ she said to herself. ‘it’s the garden without a door. he lives in there. how i wish i could see what it is like! ’” b. “in india she had always felt hot and too languid to care much about anything. the fact was that the fresh wind from the moor had begun to blow the cobwebs out of her young brain and to waken her up a little.” c. “mary felt lonelier than ever when she knew she was no longer in the house. she went out into the garden as quickly as possible, and the first thing she did was to run round and round the fountain flower garden ten times.” d. “‘it isn’t a quite dead garden,’ she cried out softly to herself. ‘even if the roses are dead, there are other things alive.’”
