Read the following passage spoken by oedipus and answer the question. listen to me, and do not be afraid— for this disease infects no one but me. why is “disease” a good metaphor here? because it makes us sick it suggests something that is horrible and incurable it suggests he is alone and blind because thebes is suffering from the black plague

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.

breathe, think and analyze the situation, pull them aside and talk to them about it

greet them:

buenas noches.

that is considered night time which is when "good night" is used.
