If you were to write a story based on the perspective of Boo Radley, how do you think Boo would describe Jem, Scout, and Dill?

Boo Radley's perspective of Jem, Scout, and Dill would more than likely include his views on their rendition of his family's life during their play "One Man's Family," as well as the children's various attempts to make contact with him. Boo would view Jem as the leader of their "gang" because Jem is the tallest and oldest of the bunch.Boo would probably describe Jem as the most courageous because Jem was the first to...

Boo Radley's perspective of Jem, Scout, and Dill would more than likely include his views on their rendition of his family's life during their play "One Man's Family," as well as the children's various attempts to make contact with him. Boo would view Jem as the leader of their "gang" because Jem is the tallest and oldest of the bunch. Boo would probably describe Jem as the most courageous because Jem was the first to touch Boo's house, grab the tire out of the Radley yard, and come back to retrieve his pants after their raid. Arthur Radley would recognize Dill from his short stature and charismatic attitude. Boo would describe Dill as the most curious child in the bunch because Dill is constantly standing by the telephone pole staring at Boo's residence, dreaming of a plan to get him out of the house. Scout would be easily distinguished from the group because of her overalls, and Boo would describe her as his most entertaining neighbor. Boo laughs at Scout after she crashes into his porch, and he probably finds it humorous to watch Scout sprint past his house every day. Arthur also watches Scout's face light up when she retrieves his small gifts from the knothole, and he can sense her positive spirit. Each of the children entertains Boo, and he feels a connection to them because he understands their curiosity.

What is hyperbole in the story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry?

The most obvious use of hyperbole in "The Gift of the Magi" occurs when the narrator describes Della's and Jim's evaluations of their two treasures—her long, luxuriant hair and his gold watch. Had the Queen of Sheba lived in the flat across the airshaft, Della would have let her hair hang out the window some day to dry just to depreciate Her Majesty's jewels and gifts. Had King Solomon been the janitor, with all his...

How can I analyze Moon and Six Pence by Somerset Maugham?

In "Moon and Sixpence," loosely based on the life of Paul Gaugin, Maugham presents a study of the tension between the "civilized" life of 19th century Europe, and the lead character's desire to throw off the shackles of bourgeois life. Charles Strickland is a middle-aged English stockbroker with a wife and family. By abandoning his domestic life, Strickland commits what many in European society would consider a gross betrayal of one of the foundations of...

What are some literary devices in Macbeth, Act V, Scene 1?

Act V, Scene i of Macbeth certainly continues the imagery that is prevalent in the play with its phantasmagoric realm, as in this scene a succession of things are seen or imagined by Lady Macbeth. Imagery - The representation of sensory experience Lady Macbeth imagines that she sees bloody spots (visual imagery) on the stairs; she also smells blood (olfactory imagery): Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not...
