Answer from: mir1425

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word'phrase is applied to an object/ action to which it is not literally suited.

examples:

the cats fur was a blanket of warmth.
'her eyes were fireflies.'

and a common metaphor:
brokenhearted.

the cat's fur isn't /actually/ a blanket, but it's body heat makes the cats fur warm and snuggly.

her eye's aren't /really/ fireflies, but they're very bright and shining (indicating happiness, perhaps?)

heat's don't /actually/ break into pieces, its just hurt and sadness (and a common metaphor.)

hope this helped!!

Answer from: Quest

given the fact that the question is about the detail that best support the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve thir goals, the first option does not refer to any kind of propaganda, since it only tells about that the milk and the windfall apple should be reserved for the pigs. in the second option, that is, "snowball and napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on the neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach them the tune of "beasts of england". it can be identified that the oppressors make use of the propaganda, which is represented by the pigeons, and the information they have to tell other animals about what was happening in the farm in order to get their objectives. for that reason, the right answer is the second option, taking into account that the third option do not refer to propaganda since it only talks about that they did not want jones back. and, finally, the last option refers to the result of the given news, but it does not mean about the propaganda they used to achieve their goals.

Read the following excerpt from "harrison bergeron" by kurt vonnegut: he tried to think a little about the ballerinas. they weren't really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. they were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. george was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. but he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts. what message about the role of media is best supported in this excerpt? a. media are the reason george is able to watch ballet. b. media change people's values, making them more selfish. c. media tend to make audiences' worldviews the same. d. media can be used to distract audiences from the truth.
