Answer 2

A figurative language device that means a biblical, mythological, or

historical reference in a work of literature is: an allusion.

In English literature, a figurative language also known as a figure of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by an author, writer, or speaker, so as to create a special effect in a literary work (write-up) or speech.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work (write-up) or speech. Allusion is an example of a figurative language.

Allusion can be defined as a reference in a text to a well known text, person, event, or thing. Thus, allusion avails an author the opportunity to compress or embed a great deal of meaningful and significant information into a phrase or word.

In this context, a biblical, mythological, or  historical reference in a work of literature is a figurative language that means an allusion.

For example, The doubting Thomas.

25 POINTS FOR WHOEVER ANSWERS THIS CORRECTLY
Write a paragraph in which you define “family” in your own words and using your own examples. In your
paragraph, be sure to address the following issues:
 Does a family have to share the same house or apartment? Why or why not?
 Do family members have to see each other every day? How often must they see each other?
 Does a family have to be biologically related? Why or why not?
 Must family members agree on everything? Why or why not?
 Are shared traditions essential to family identity? Why or why not?
As you revise your paragraph, be certain that
 You have a clear statement of your definition and supporting examples.
 You use correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Answers

Pt 1.

Sharing an apartment with a family member (or two) can be both a relief and a cause of stress. In the end, your experience living with a family roommate depends largely on the character of that family member and you. If you get along with the family member, you may find living with him or her much more comfortable than living with a stranger or even a friend. When you know and trust a family member who lives with you, you can be yourself around your roommate and you probably won’t have to worry about stolen items or finding out your roommate is a different person to live with than he or she is to hang out with. If you’re living with a sibling, a cousin or even a parent, it’s easy to fall into the habit of falling behind in your payments. After all, “families stick together,” so some irresponsible apartment dwellers might believe their family roommate can cover a “month or two” of rent payment, which turns into a few months more. Too afraid to cause family drama, the responsible roommate let him or herself be taken advantage of.

Pt 2.

Strong and positive family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm and loving family.

But positive family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too.  They:

help children feel secure and loved, which gives them confidence to explore their world, try new things and learnmake it easier for your family to solve problems, resolve conflict and respect differences of opiniongive children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

I will put the rest in the comments since there is a typing limit, but I hope this helps and I always appreciate Brainliest! ;)

The word “family” everyone has their own meanings to the word, is it blood relatives? Is it friends? Can it be anyone or anything? I honestly think that family is defined by a connection you feel with a specific person or thing. Family isn’t just someone you live with, it’s someone you can consider that being with them you feel as if you’re at home. Family members don’t need to see each other all the time, you can be connected with someone who lives many miles away. As long as the connection between the two people or more stays strong. Even if you’re not speaking. Family’s don’t have to be biological, a family isn’t blood. Just because you are related doesn’t mean you have love towards them or feel safe with them. Family will never always agree on the same thing because everyone has their opinion. And liking other things gives a connection between two people because without having other things to like it makes you the same person and no one is the same. Sharing the same traditions are not essential to being a family you can a god fearing person and your family might not even believe in religion. But as long as they respect each others life styles it doesn’t create an issue. So in all a family isn’t being related. Being a family can be a pet. As long as there’s love, feelings, meaning, behind the relationship family can be anyone. Family is someone that supports you unconditional. Someone that even if they leave you can connect again as if you never left. Family has a deeper meaning then just being related.

2.What‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌Boo‌ ‌Radley‌ ‌game?‌ ‌Do‌ ‌you‌ ‌think‌ ‌this‌ ‌is‌ ‌an‌ ‌accurate‌ ‌version‌ ‌of‌ ‌what‌ ‌happens‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌Radley‌ ‌home?‌ ‌

Answers

Answer:

The Boo Radley game was an improvised and imagined version of how the children assumed happened in the Radley household. The game was played by Jem, Dill, and Scout 'in secret'.

The game seemed hardly accurate because as Scout revealed, Boo seemed to enjoy seeing the children play and even 'laughed' observing them.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the small town of Maycomb in Alabama through the eyes of Scout Finch, a young girl, and the protagonist and narrator. The novel deals with themes of race, society, law, right, wrong, etc. among others.

The Boo Radley game was a game that Jem brought up. "I was Mrs. Radley, and all I had to do was come out and sweep the porch. Dill was old Mr. Radley: he walked up and down the sidewalk and coughed when Jem spoke to him. Jem, naturally, was Boo: he went under the front steps and shrieked and howled from time to time." The game was a depiction of the Radley family, stories about them, and different versions of what happened in the Radley home as the children assumed them to be.

The game was not exactly an accurate version of the Radley home because, as Scout revealed "Someone inside the house was laughing", it was likely that Boo Radley was laughing at the children's play.

What is the another sentence of the thought 'feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength.

Answers

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Another sentence of the thought 'feminism isn't about making women stronger. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength," would be the following.

Feminism has to make women stronger than they are. And it is not a matter of perception, it is a fact."

This sentence is related to the activist work done by Australian activist G. D Anderson. She is a writer that likes to spend altruistic time helping women of underdeveloped countries like Namibia, in Africa. She is concerned about the poverty in those places and has created the "The Cova Project," helping African women to provide feminine products to improve their health conditions.

Jackie and I became friends about three years ago, in the middle of the 7th grade. Having just moved to Houston from Oklahoma City, she was introduced to our class that morning.
At lunch, I was sitting with the rest of the drama club when I noticed her standing awkwardly with her tray. I could see she was debating on where she should sit. Having just moved to the area a couple of years ago, I knew exactly how she felt.
Feeling kind, I called out, "Hey! Wanna sit with us?"
With a hopeful smile, Jackie looked toward the table where Mindy, the "coolest" girl in school, and her followers sat, but seeing no one looking at her, she turned, puzzled, and saw me waving at her. What happened next surprised me. She gave me a haughty look and turned back around.
"A 'no, thank you' would have been a bit kinder," I muttered.
My friend Lindsey patted me on the back. "Look at how she's dressed—designer jeans and a trendy top. You can tell she's one of those." With a shrug, she said, "Some girls just care about being 'popular.' "
The new girl straightened her shoulders. She approached Mindy, and although I couldn't hear what was being said, I did see Mindy laugh and give her the wave to go away. The poor girl got rejected. Mindy must have made a cruel comment at Jackie's expense because eruptive laughs and spiteful looks were aimed her way. I watched as Jackie walked to an empty table across the room. She looked like she was about to cry.
I shook my head at the irony. What goes around comes around fast, I thought to myself.
After lunch, I stopped by the bathroom. As I washed my hands, I heard sniffling coming from one of the stalls. "Are you okay?" I called out. No answer came. Not knowing what else to do, I just said, "The bell's going to ring soon."
With that, I heard the click of the lock, and out stepped the new girl.
"Hi," I said, startled. I stuck out my hand. "I'm Steph."
"I'm Jackie," she said, shaking my hand. Her damp eyes and pink nose proved that she had been crying. "Sorry about earlier. I was pretty rude."
"Not as rude as Mindy was," I answered with a sympathetic smile. "Come on. We better get to class."
