Read this excerpt from the speech "Cause of the Great War" delivered by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George after World War I. Which statement accurately describes the use of rhetorical devices in this excerpt? We begged Germany not to attack Belgium, and produced a treaty, signed by the King of Prussia, as well as the King of England, pledging himself to protect Belgium against an invader, and we said, "If you invade Belgium we shall have no alternative but to defend it." The enemy invaded Belgium, and now they say, "Why, forsooth, you, England, provoked this war." It is not quite the story of the wolf and the lamb. I will tell you why —because Germany expected to find a lamb and found a lion.

Than infuriated his father, which led to their antagonistic relationship. It is reflected in the story as well - Gregor's father is very short-tempered, disappointed with his son, just as Kafka's father was.

Can you elaborate on the purpose of figurative language?

Answers

Using figurative language is an effective way of communicating an idea that is not easily understood because of its abstract nature or complexity. Although figurative language does not offer a literal explanation, it can be used to compare one idea to a second idea to make the first idea easier to visualize. Figurative language also is used to link two ideas with the goal of influencing an audience to see a connection even if one does not actually exist. Writers of prose and poetry use figurative language to elicit emotion, help readers form mental images and draw readers into the work.

Figurative language can reveal deep-rooted or longstanding meaning when words are used in nonliteral comparisons.
