Continue working with a partner to annotate and analyze Shakespeare's The Tempest. You will select one scene from the play and provide annotations that explain Shakespeare's use of figurative language. Then you will examine your partner's scene and write a paragraph that explains how details from the scene, including the figurative language, reveal Shakespeare's attitudes toward colonialism and imperialism.

The figurative languages used by Shakespeare in "the Tempest" are:

Hyperbole: "Your tale, Sir, would cure deafness."

Metaphor: "My library is dukedom large enough"

Personification: "This movie crept by me upon the waters allaying both their fury and my passion."

Paradox: "What is past is prologue."

Simile: "Then all adire with me, the King's son, Ferdinand, with her hair upstairing.

Metaphor:" No sweet aspersions shall the heavens let fall to make the contract grow."

The Tempest analyzes the imperialistic connections between England and America but applies it to personal human relationship between the main characters. The island gives newcomers a sense of unending opportunities like claiming the land for themselves because of the belief in the Great Chain of Being and the seventeenth century being an age of exploration. The idea of governing a colony lured many people into the idea that having that type of power over a multitude of people is attainable. Prospero who is the main character, has almost same mindset to a colonist because although he ended up on the island unknowingly, he still acts as better than the inhabitants and he sees the island as something he can gain from. Prospero probably wouldn’t fit the title of an imperialist invader because he came to the island as a person who flees secretly and did not necessarily start a war with the inhabitants. Nonetheless he wants to restore his dukedom by manipulating the people around him. He keeps Miranda, his daughter, naive and innocent. He also uses magic on Ferdinand, who becomes Miranda’s love interest, and then proceeds to make him a slave. Prospero uses Ariel to carry out most of his plans by convincing Ariel he will gain his freedom through obedience.

Explanation:

The Tempest is a play about betrayal, magic and forgiveness. Prospero is a powerful magician who creates a tempest, that creates the scene for the play. In the events that follow we see a plan to murder the King of Naples, a drunken scheme to end Prospero and a romance between Miranda and the King’s son, Ferdinand. At last, everyone is forgiven and they all set go home.

two jet streams that directly affect the formation of weather in the continental part are a polar jet and a subtropical jet. they are responsible for the transportation of weather systems, which directly affect people. the polar front is the boundary between cold air from the north pole and warmer equatorial air. both the polar jet and the subtropical jet blow from the west to the east, and follow the boundary between cold and warm air.

the strongest jet streams are polar jets, while subtropical jets are somewhat weaker.

the right answer is c. the polar jet stream is generaly stronger than the subtropical jet stream.
