In the first seven paragraphs of America and I, what are some of the images and diction used by the narrator that evoke the “dream of America”?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Imagery in literature refers to the use of words and analogy that appeals to the five senses.

Starting with Paragraph 7, the narrator states that after her lofty dreams of America, the fact that she needs to work to pay for her next meal and rent brought her back to reality...in her own words she states "I had to put my feet down on earth"

Another example of imagery used can be found in paragraph 1. She calls out to America for understanding as there are many immigrants who were beating out their heart at its gates. In other words, there are many immigrants who seek to enter into America. She speaks as though America were a living being.

The act of immigration is typified by the beating of hearts at America's gates.

In paragraph 5 she speaks of hidden sap of centuries that would find release -colours that never saw light.

The last part of that sentence is a good use of imagery as colour and light are very visual.

Cheers.

Which sentence contains an infinitive or infinitive phrase? a. Starting tomorrow, I'm turning over a new leaf.
b. To me, that's the best story in the world.
c. Weren't you going to finish that song?
d. Save some of that cornbread for me.

Answers

C is the correct answer because it is the only sentence where there is an infinitive present, in this case that is 'to finish'. The other sentences do not contain an infinitive: 'starting' is a participle, 'am turning' is present continuous, 'is' is present simple, 'weren't going' is past continuous', and 'save' is imperative.
