Mbure: "To Bed-Bug"

Detalles de la respuesta
The most dominant figure of speech in the excerpt is personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which non-human things are given human qualities or characteristics. In the excerpt, the bed bugs are referred to as "awful parasites" and are accused of "sharing" the bed with the speaker, "awakening" them from their sleep, and "sucking" blood from their head. These actions are all human qualities that are attributed to the bed bugs, which are non-human. This creates a sense of empathy between the speaker and the bed bugs, and also serves to emphasize the speaker's annoyance and frustration with the bed bugs. The other options - metaphor, simile, and hyperbole - do not accurately describe the dominant figure of speech in the excerpt.

It represents the darkest and most terrifying aspects of the totalitarian regime that Orwell warns against in his novel.

Detalles de la respuesta
In drama, the protagonist is the leading character. The protagonist is the main character in a drama or other work of literature, around whom the story revolves.

_____________refers to time and place of a drama?
Detalles de la respuesta
The term that refers to the time and place of a drama is "setting." The setting is the physical and social environment in which a story or drama takes place. It includes the time period, the location, the climate, and the social context of the story. The setting can be a specific place, such as a city, a building, or a room, or it can be a more general location, such as a forest, a beach, or a desert. In drama, the setting is important because it helps to establish the context of the story and provides the audience with a visual and emotional backdrop for the action. The setting can also influence the characters' behavior and motivations, as well as the themes and messages of the drama. Therefore, if someone is referring to the time and place of a drama, they are talking about the setting. It is important to note that the setting is not the same as a scene or an act, which refer to specific parts of the drama rather than the overall environment in which the story takes place.

Which element of drama tells the actor what to do?
Detalles de la respuesta
The element of drama that tells the actor what to do is the "stage directions." Stage directions are written instructions in a script that describe the physical actions, movements, and expressions of the characters, as well as the placement of props and set pieces on the stage. These instructions are usually indicated in italics or enclosed in brackets and are intended to guide the actors, director, and other production team members on how to bring the play to life. For example, a stage direction might indicate that a character should enter from stage left, pick up a pen from the desk, and begin writing a letter while pacing back and forth. Actors use these stage directions as a roadmap to bring their characters to life, and to help create a cohesive and believable performance for the audience.

What is the narrator of a poem called?
Detalles de la respuesta
The narrator of a poem is typically called the "speaker." In poetry, the speaker is the voice behind the words of the poem. It is the persona created by the poet to convey their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through the poem. The speaker may or may not be the same person as the poet, and the speaker's identity may be explicit or implied in the text of the poem. The speaker is the one who is "speaking" the words of the poem, and they are the one who is addressing the reader or the audience. The speaker's voice can be characterized by its tone, style, and language, and it can convey a wide range of emotions and attitudes. It is important to note that the speaker is not the same as the author, who is the person who wrote the poem. The author may have created the speaker as a persona through which to convey their ideas and emotions, but the speaker is a fictional construct within the world of the poem. Therefore, if someone is asking about the narrator of a poem, they are likely referring to the speaker, who is the voice behind the words of the poem.

"Acoustic" refers to sound, and "tone" refers to the quality or character of a sound or voice, but neither term is specific to the theatre or to the definition provided.
