Question

"Language is a road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going." -Rita Mae Brown

The quote above is an example of a:
A. personification

B. simile

C. metaphor

D. alliteration

Answer 1

C or D but this person information is what she think's it is it not real beside the map map is real

Answer 2

I don't think it is D because the definition for Alliteration is "the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words."

Answer 3

I'm stuck between B and C

Answer 4

Try C

Answer 5

Metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." so does that fit?

Answer 6

the sentence does it sound real or does it sound like a fact

Answer 7

No, it seems like a comparison to something abstract to me

Answer 8

what is the definition For answer A

Answer 9

"the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form."

Answer 10

this will make it much easy to decide
1 to 10 what do you think that A is right
1 to 10 what do you think C is correct

Answer 11

Well A isn't right. It doesn't compare language to being human.

Answer 12

But a simile is "a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid" which is why I'm confused between the two.
