From "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by Lewis Carroll 1 The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright— 5 And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night. The moon was shining sulkily, Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there 10 After the day was done— "It’s very rude of him," she said, "To come and spoil the fun!" Use the excerpt to answer the question. What type of figurative language is used in lines 1–4 of the poem? A. simile B. metaphor C. personification D. symbol

C. personification

Explanation:

Personification refers to the attribution of human qualities to something that is nonhuman. In the excerpt from "The Walrus and the Carpenter" the author Lewis Carroll personifies the sun and the moon, as a man and a woman respectively. Thus, the sun has the human trait to make the effort so that the sky shines, while the moon has the human feature of thinking that the sun is rude.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

in general, fiction refers to plot, settings, and characters created from the imagination, while nonfiction refers to factual stories focused on actual events and people. however, the difference between these two genres is sometimes blurred, as the two often intersect.
