Read the blog entry below and answer the question that follows:

At first I dreaded going to sixth grade camp. I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me. But was I wrong! In fact, it was the best week ever! I went horseback riding and participated in a ropes activity with a zip line course. After the course, I climbed to the top of a pole using only ropes and carabiner clips, and then I rappelled off the top. I even made a new best friend. Oh, by the way, the food was delicious. It tasted better than my mom's! (But don't tell her.)

Review the sentence below.

I was sure the food would be poisonous, I would freeze to death in my sleeping bag, and the other kids in my cabin would never talk to me again.

What type of language is the author using to make his/her point?

Technical language
Literal meanings
Denotative language
Hyperbole

Answer:

Hyperbole

Explanation:

Hyperbole is the figure of speech used to exaggerate one's point. For example, surely the food couldn't be poisonous because the camp would no longer be in business, but the author wanted to convey the idea that the 6th grader was very scared to go to camp, so the author used exaggeration.

Which persuasive technique is present in this excerpt from a speech?


It is common knowledge that America consumes a lot of resources compared to the rest of the world. We need more gasoline, eat bigger meals, and drink from larger size cups. We waste a lot of what we purchase, and we buy many things we didn't need in the first place. In addition to a lack of public transportation, an abundance of plastic bags, and overuse of disposables, we have managed to do more than a nation's share in global warming.


Only the other day, while I was shopping in an outlet mall, I noticed that the store's doors were wide open while the air conditioning blasted and kept the place icy cold. The sales clerks cared more about the view outside than the tremendous amount of energy they were wasting. I wondered why the customers weren't bothered by the waste of energy. Why shouldn't we start thinking about alternative sources of energy? I asked the clothing store manager to close the doors. I also started to make a list of what I really needed, and I never shopped when I was very hungry.

Mr. Bedford, you should definitely go to the moon. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you could not just turn it down. I know that there are risks of failure that could end badly, but it is worth it. You have worked so hard with Mr. Cavor that you can't just give this up. Yes your business had a downfall but that shoukd not stop you. I know that you might be a little scared or unsure if this will work and I can see that. What is you say no, but it works. What if it works and everything goes right, but you missed the opportunity to go to space, to see that stars and the moon, to see our planet in a way no one has ever seen it before. Then would you be sad and angry that you said no. Then would you have wanted to go and wished you said yes. Keep up the good work and you will make it, you will succeed and it will all be worth it.

How do symbols represent ideas in literary works?

A symbol can be interpreted in many ways, so it helps authors express complex ideas.

The same symbol is used over and over again to represent the same idea, so readers quickly understand the symbol.

Symbols turn abstract concepts into concrete objects so that readers can connect with the ideas more strongly.

Each culture has its own distinctive symbols, so readers from that culture can readily understand the work's ideas.
