1. "I drove my weight on it from above and bored it home like a shipwright bores his beam with a shipwright's drill that men below, whipping the strap back and forth, whirl and the drill keeps twisting, never stopping"- Homer, The Odyssey: simile

A simile is a figure of speech that uses comparisons to describe something or someone while using the words "such as" "as", "like", with the purpose of making the writing more colorful and interesting. The line "I drove my weight on it from above and bored it home like a shipwright bores his beam with a shipwright's drill that men below" is an example of a simile.

2. “This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him only lacks a cover.”- Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet: metaphor

A metaphor is a figure of speech that asserts that one element (person, animal, thing, quality, event, etc.) is similar to another element. The line uses metaphor when it asserts that the book of love is an "unbound lover."

3. "...wound with his wisdom to his wished stay; that wandered wondrous farre when He the town . . ." - Homer, The Odyssey: alliteration

Alliteration is a stylistic literary technique in which neighboring words have the same initial consonant sound. The line uses alliteration because most words begin with the same initial sound of "w."

4. "As for the pigs, they could already read and write perfectly." - George Orwell, Animal Farm: personification

Personification that takes place when a thing, animal, idea, abstract quality, aspect of nature, emotion or event is attributed to human characteristics. The excerpt uses personification because it gives pigs the human attribute of reading and writing.

5. The poison used by Juliet in Romeo and Juliet can also represent the poisoning of the relationship between the Montagues and Capulets: symbolism

Symbolism is a figurative language that takes place when a character, place, thing, event or anything with a physical existence stands for a larger idea or meaning that is entirely different from the actual meaning of that physical "thing." The excerpt uses it because the poison used by Juliet in Romeo and Juliet stands for something else that is entirely different from the poison's actual form.

Which sentence in this excerpt from leo tolstoy’s the death of ivan ilyich shows the human tendency to contemplate one’s past life? "but if that is so," he said to himself, "and i am leaving this life with the consciousness that i have lost all that was given me and it is impossible to rectify it—what then? " he lay on his back and began to pass his life in review in quite a new way. in the morning when he saw first his footman, then his wife, then his daughter, and then the doctor, their every word and movement confirmed to him the awful truth that had been revealed to him during the night. in them he saw himself—all that for which he had lived—and saw clearly that it was not real at all, but a terrible and huge deception which had hidden both life and death. this consciousness intensified his physical suffering tenfold. he groaned and tossed about, and pulled at his clothing which choked and stifled him. and he hated them on that account. he was given a large dose of opium and became unconscious, but at noon his sufferings began again. he drove everybody away and tossed from side to side. his wife came to him and said: "jean, my dear, do this for me. it can't do any harm and often . healthy people often do it." he opened his eyes wide. "what? take communion? why? it's unnecessary! " she began to cry. "yes, do, my dear. i'll send for our priest. he is such a nice man." "all right. very well," he muttered. when the priest came and heard his confession, ivan ilyich was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings, and for a moment there came a ray of hope. he again began to think of the vermiform appendix and the possibility of correcting it. he received the sacrament with tears in his eyes.
