This excerpt is from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Explanation:
- Ben Roger was Tom's peer. While Tom was whitewashing the fence, Ben arrived with an apple, making a long melodious whoop intermittently with a ding-dong, ding-dong sound.
- He was mimicking a steamboat, reducing speed as if he was measuring nine feet of water. He pretended to embody the boat, the captain, and the engine bell.
- Then he feigned bringing the forty feet wheel to a halt with a ting-a-ling-ling.
George should consider including himself as a character in the story.
D. The author employs a metaphor, likening the men from West Riding in their search for wealth to hounds chasing their quarry.
When interpreting literary works, such as poems, plays, or narratives, it’s essential to grasp the meaning of the language used. Here, we observe a metaphorical resemblance drawn between bloodhounds and men. Bloodhounds, known for their determination and ability to track scents, are relentless in their pursuits, whether in hunting or detective scenarios. The author, through this metaphor, conveys that the ‘West Riding men’ are fixated on money and relentless in their pursuit of it.
