Comparing Kirzner And Mandell

A metaphor is comparing two objects without the use of like or as. One example of a metaphor in the letter is found in 39th paragraph and reads “Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away.”(King). This is a metaphor because it compares dark clouds to racial prejudice without like or as. Another metaphor is in the 39th paragraph and reads “the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow and the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.”(King). This is a metaphor because it compares radiant starts to love and brotherhood without like or

Imagery is a literary device in which the writing appeals to one or more of the five senses. Imagery occurs in vivid descriptive writing, and the writing often seems to paint a picture.

A simile is a form of figurative language that uses the word “like” or “as” to make a comparison. An effective simile can tell a lot about a character or scenario. Early on in Wiesel’s book he describes Moishe as “Physically, he was awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile” (3).

Simile: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind (using ‘like’ or ‘as’)

Imagery is when authors use vivid descriptions so the reader can imagine the characters and settings. In the book All Quiet on the Western Front, imagery is used by the author, Remarque, to help the readers imagine the scene when the soldiers are taking a break in a meadow after half of their regiment was killed in an attack. Imagery was used when the protagonist took a good look at the meadow and saw the “grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the soft warm wind of the late summer” (Remarque 9) where “on the horizon [there were] bright yellow, sunlit observation balloons, [and there were] little white clouds of anti-aircraft shells”(Remarque 9). This quote describes what the protagonist sees when he looks at the meadow and on the horizon where a battle was taken place. This is imagery because the author uses vivid words to create an image in the reader's mind of what was happening in the scene. The author included this technique to give the reader the scene and what the character saw in his own eyes. (189 words)

Some literary devices that Kidd used were similes, hyperboles, and direct characterization. The literary device simile was means comparing two different items using the words “like” or “as”. Thus, if Kidd was comparing two different objects while using “like” or “as”, we would therefore call the comparison as a simile. This shouldn’t be confused with a metaphor, that is a comparison without using the words “like” or “as”.

Simile (balcony scene): O, speak again, bright angle! For thou art As glorious to this night, being o’er my head, As a winged messenger of heaven (Rom. 2. 2. 26-28). Juliet is compared to a winged messenger of heaven. Given that the comparison uses the word "as," this comparison is a simile.

Device: Simile–A word or expression that makes an explicit comparison between two things of unlike nature that yet have something in common. Similes usually use the terms “like” or “as” in making that explicit comparison.

Imagery: “Broadly defined, imagery is any sensory detail or evocation in a work; more narrowly, the use of figurative language to evoke a feeling, to call to mind an idea, or to describe an object. Imagery may be described as auditory, tactile, visual, or olfactory depending on which sense it primarily appeals to—hearing, touch, vision, or smell. An image is a particular instance of imagery.”

Imagery is any piece of language that provokes the readers mind to form a mental picture or image.

a metaphor, which is the comparison of two things by just stating that one thing is the other.

Simile: a phrase that uses the words like or as to describe someone or something by comparing it with someone or something else that is similar.

Imagery is used by many writers and this is when the writer uses visually descriptive or figurative language.

Imagery is a strong element that helps portray a lot of internal feelings for the audience to fathom with, thus creating an experience that the audience can enjoy. Imagery is the language represented by sense experience and a literary device that helps create a mental picture for the reader to understand what the writer is trying to say to the audience (Johnson, Arp 779). The following is the poem by Langston Hughes: “The calm,/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss.” (Hughes 1-3) When examining the poem, “Suicide’s Note”, it is full of imagery with only three lines present. The

When writing a comparison you will be constructing an analogy, which means using an unusual subject related to something more usual to better help the reader understand the subject. There is two common forms in analogy: metaphor, which is a figure of speech where one thing is compared to an object or action but no literally, is just a way so the reader can better comprehend, and simile that differs from metaphor because of the use of the words ''like'' or ''as'' when comparing, for example: my internet today is slow like a snail.
