Do you know what Personification, Paradox, Onomatopoeia, and Simile are?

heart_offire · Answer

personification is giving a thing human qualities, simile is a comparison with like and as, onomatopoeia is the sounds and paradox is a story?

wendy.ivette11714 · Answer

Paradox is a statement that seems contradictory or absurd but is actually valid or true.

heart_offire · Answer

so maybe this line is a paradox

wendy.ivette11714 · Answer

Ok, so we know the answer cannot be C.

heart_offire · Answer

it cant be D because its not comparing anything

heart_offire · Answer

it cant be C because there are no recurring sounds

wendy.ivette11714 · Answer

heart_offire · Answer
