A hyperbole is an obvious exaggeration used to make a point. For example, when helping your parents move around the furniture, you might say, "This couch weighs a ton!". The couch obviously doesn't weigh 2,000 pounds - it's an exaggeration of how heavy it feels to move that couch.

Personlification gives human characteristics to something that is not human. For example, The petals on the rose felt as soft as baby's cheeks. We're giving a human-like description of roses that can help you get a better idea of what it felt like to touch those petals.

When the same sound is used in a series of words in a row (or close together), we call this alliteration. Probably the most famous one is "She sells sea shells by the seashore". Repeating the 's' sound at the beginning of most of those words is alliteration.

A simile compares two things to make a more vivid description. They will use like or as to compare the items. When watching a race and seeing a runner fall, then get back up and finish, we may say that they are tough as nails.

This line s not a simile because it does not use "like" or "as" to compare two objects. The description of the roast is not exaggerating a description about it, so it is not a hyperbole. The roast isn't described using human characteristics, so it is not personification. The entire line is "Crusts of black burned buttered toast, gristly bits of beefy roasts". The repetition of the 'b' sound identifies that this line uses alliteration.

Answer from: Quest

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
