The repetition of the word "thump" is an example of what literary device?A. personification
B. simile
C. onomatopoeia
D. metaphor

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: C. onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a type of word that when said aloud sounds like the sound it describes. The word "thump", well, sounds like a thump, you can hear the sound in your head as you say it. Think of onomatopoeia as words that in a comic book you would see in super large capitalized bold letters surrounded by a zig-zaggy speech bubble. Other examples of onomatopoeia include yowl, achoo, ah, ha, aha, roof/bark/ruff, babble, boom, bonk, munch, crunch, tick, tock, coo, echo, eek, eew, um, eh, huh, howl, crash, kerplunk, knock, moan, meow, mrow, patter, purr, slash, screech, splat, shh, varoom, clack, rip, raspy, zoom, ring, ding, rap, tap, yap, yelp, yawn etc.
Answer 2
Answer: The word "thump" itself is an example of onomatopoeia (which is simply a word that sounds like the sound it describes--e.g. boom, crash, bang, goosh, etc.), so C would be the appropriate answer choice.
Hope that helped! =)

the change of Reverend Hale's character from his intial position and beliefs. If we were to describe how he changes in three stages, what would these stages of change be? Use three specific events fromAct I, Act II and Act III to show the change in Hale's character and attitude toward the trials.

Answers

The Reverend Hale changes come when he decides to fight witchcraft in Salem, when he starts to get frustrated with the trials and when he realizes that there were no witches in the region, but rather ambitious people.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Reverend Hale is the character with the most changes in the play.
  • The first change is introduced right at the beginning of the story when he begins to believe that he is capable of fighting witchcraft in Salem.
  • The second change occurs midway through the story, when he realizes that the judgments of people accused of witchcraft are strange, they don't analyze evidence and condemn people without being sure of their involvement in witchcraft.
  • This makes Reverend Hale suspicious, not knowing what he believes.
  • The last change comes at the end when Reverend Hale realizes that the trials are a hoax and aim to dominate the citizen's wealth.

Reverend Hale's changes come gradually as he becomes aware of people's greed and cruelty.
