Return and Return (Excerpt) He poured himself a cup of wine from the pot, and his face was pleasant in the small courtyard. Leaning on the south window to rely on pride, really can accommodate the ease of the knee. The garden is full of fun every day, and the gate is always closed. Sun Ce helped the old man to rest in the river, and sometimes he looked up and watched from afar. The cloud has no intention to fly out of the mountain, and the bird is tired and flies back. Hou Jing was about to enter the palace, caressing the lonely pine trees and lingering.

He was like a bomb that could explode at any time, catching people off guard. This metaphor compared the dangerous object "bomb" with the destructive character "he", emphasizing that "his" behavior and thoughts were extremely dangerous, making it difficult to predict and deal with without careful analysis.

Is this destiny?

Is this destiny?

Sarah Hill is an introvert who does not want to attract attention. Other than mad coding skills, Sarah knows how to throw a punch. She believes that her biggest problem is the existence of the hacker Omega and her world flips upside-down when the most popular guy on campus approaches her. What does he want? Why her? (Ah, Sarah, that is only the beginning.) JoAnna Hill easily makes friends with her bubbly personality. Some call her a mad scientist, but she prefers ‘Dr. Hill’, because that is what she is. JoAnna is an excellent markswoman who can snipe out any target and she is wondering if her prince charming will ever come. Sophia Hill is the voice of reason, their pillar of support. She is a confident CEO who knows how to get what she wants. Sophia’s degree in law combined with amazing capabilities to analyze the situation and plan ahead make her the perfect strategist (to achieve a goal without ending up in jail). This is a story of three Hill sisters who are navigating through challenges while they uncover the complicated story behind their maternal side of the family. And their father is not a simple man either. Every sister is different, and so are their relationships. They all have in common: trust and belief that if they work together, anything is possible. Mature content! 18+ ***SPOILER? - START *** The story starts with a focus on the youngest sister (Sarah). After about 100 chapters, the oldest sister (Sophia) gets in the romantic spotlight. JoAnna finds herself pulled into romance last, at about 200 chapter mark. ***SPOILER? - END *** Excerpt from the novel... "Do you believe in destiny?", Sarah broke the silence. "Destiny?" Aiden didn't expect such a question. "Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right." "Why would you ask me such a thing?" "Until a few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it. But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? ... Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? ... You are a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?" "Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.", Aiden lightly kissed Sarah's shoulder and rested his chin on it. --- 1st WARNING!!! Contains descriptions of intimate scenes.

I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

I Was Caught Up in a Hero Summoning, but That World Is at Peace

It all happened so abruptly. After finally grasping my situation, I found myself in an entirely different world. Looking around, I noticed others in the same predicament… Could this possibly be one of those Hero developments? Was there a tyrannical Demon Lord needing extermination, or would I be tossed into the maelstrom of war? Whatever it was, I was afraid. I never wanted to be a Hero. I don’t want to harm another…… Ignore the nonsense I was spouting; there was nothing to fret over. The Demon Lord was slain a thousand years ago, and 800 years had passed since the last war. The nobles didn’t treat us summoned like tr*sh; instead, we were kindly cared for. The Demons have been on good terms with Humans for some time now. Dangers, such as monsters, were being taken care of by the Guild and the Order of Knights. What’s more surprising is the fact that I wasn’t even a hero! Instead, I was unintentionally summoned! It also turns out that this world was a world in which the three races, the Spirit World’s Magical Races, the Celestial World’s Divine Races, and the Mortal World’s Human Races, are kind neighbours. Here, everyone lives a peaceful and fulfilling life. In summary, this other world was――at peace. What’s my plan for the future? For my limited stay here, I will live this world to its fullest; going on a cultural exchange, sightseeing, then, after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years, …… I shall safely return home. However, despite my lust for a peaceful last year before returning, this planet’s heavyweights have begun amassing around me, and……

How can a figure of speech be effectively used in a short story?

1 answer

In a short story, onomatopoeia can be very effective. For instance, 'The bees buzzed around the flowers.' It makes the reader hear the sound in their mind. Symbolism, which is a type of figure of speech, can also be used. A red rose might symbolize love in the story. And then there's the use of understatement. Instead of saying 'It was a huge earthquake', you could say 'There was a bit of a tremor', which can create a sense of humor or mystery in the short story.

Without the actual passage, it's really difficult to talk about the top stories. But if we assume a passage, top stories might be the ones that stand out in terms of drama or importance. For example, if it's a news passage, the top stories could be major events like political announcements, natural disasters, or breakthroughs in science. They would likely be the ones with the most space dedicated to them, or the ones that are mentioned first as they are considered the most newsworthy.

This quote came from Qian Zhongshu's book, Fortress Besieged. The original text read: " Fang Hong gradually found himself in an extremely contradictory situation. On the one hand, he yearned for freedom, but on the other hand, he was well aware of the uncertainty and risks brought by freedom. He knew that he could not get rid of the shackles of traditional values and could not completely get rid of the huge pressure of social public opinion. Therefore, he longed for freedom and had to compromise in the face of reality." These words expressed Fang Hongjian's inner contradictions and struggles. He yearned for freedom, but he also knew the uncertainties and risks that freedom brought. He knew that he could not get rid of the shackles of traditional values, nor could he completely get rid of the huge pressure of social public opinion. Therefore, he longed for freedom and had to compromise in the face of reality. This kind of contradiction and struggle was Fang Hongjian's truest feeling in his heart, and it was also a helpless choice when he faced reality.

What are "metaphor","metonymy" and "synecdoche"? please explain in detail

1 answer
2024-09-12 18:03

Metaphor is a metaphor that uses a metaphor to convey a deeper meaning or emotion by hinting at a concept or thing. It usually uses a simple word or phrase to express the meaning that needs to be expressed. Metaphors are usually abstract and imaginative, so they are often used in novels, poems, and other literary works. Metonymy is a metaphor that takes away the "metaphor" part of a metaphor or metaphor to directly express the original meaning. It is usually used for works that need to convey information or emotions more simply and clearly, such as news reports, advertisements, etc. Synecdoche is the use of a metaphor or metonymy as a stand-alone word. It is commonly used in novels, poems, and other literary works. It uses a hint or a suggestive metaphor to draw out a new concept or theme. Synecdoche is usually shorter and more direct than metaphor, but it is also more difficult to understand and explain. Metaphor and metonymy are usually used in literature to convey the feelings, meanings, or information that the author wants to express. Synecdoche is often used in novels, poems, and other literary works to provide a more concise, vivid, and comprehensible form to express new concepts or topics.

The Great Tragedy used the following sentence to describe the details: Her breathing became weak, like a dying animal. Her eyes were tightly shut, and the expression on her face became more and more painful. Her arms slowly relaxed, and tiny wrinkles appeared on her skin. His eyes were full of tears and his voice was hoarse as if something heavy was stuck in his throat. He slowly walked to her side and gently stroked her hair." Don't worry, I'll always be by your side," he said gently. He felt his heart beating faster and faster, and a painful expression appeared on his face. He tapped his heart with his fingers, hoping to ease his pain. Her lips opened slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. Her eyes gradually opened and a smile appeared on her face, as if she was surrendering to fate. She gently patted her face and slowly sat up.

Write a sentence to explain the difference and connection between "knowledge and wisdom" using metaphor and comparison.

1 answer
2024-09-15 08:58

Knowledge and wisdom were two closely related concepts, but there were also obvious differences and connections. Metaphorical argument: Wisdom is like a bright pearl, and knowledge is the gem on this pearl. The pearl could be a person's intelligence, while the gem could be knowledge, skills, and experience. Only those who have knowledge can better understand and apply wisdom, and only those who have wisdom can better learn and master knowledge. Comparisons: Knowledge is like a library that can provide a large amount of knowledge. Wisdom was the ability of a librarian to flexibly use knowledge to discover valuable information. Knowledge could provide people with reference and wisdom was the key to the application of knowledge. Knowledge could provide the foundation and support for wisdom, but only wisdom could truly display the value of knowledge.
