6. when monica walked through the shoe store, each shiny pair of high heels called out to her\nwhat is being…

Brief Explanations:

• Question 6:
  • Personification is a literary device where non - human entities are given human traits. In the sentence “When Monica walked through the shoe store, each shiny pair of high heels called out to her”, the non - human entity is “high heels”. The human trait given is the ability to “call out” (a form of communication).
• Question 7:
  • In “When the patriots defeated the redcoat army, freedom rang across the fruited plains”, the non - human concept is “freedom”. The human trait is the ability to “ring” (make a sound, like a person might ring a bell or make a vocal sound).
• Question 8:
  • For “As Alice searched for her missing pencil, she said sarcastically, “Well, I guess it just walked off of my desk.” She looked at her classmates accusingly”, the non - human object is “pencil”. The human trait is “walked” (the ability to move on its own, like a human).
• Question 9:
  • In “Kelly was so happy that Tom and she were moving in together, but when she walked into her new residence, she dropped her suitcase. She had never seen the inside of the house which Tom’s grandmother had given them, and though she was grateful to receive such a nice gift, the ugly yellow wallpaper in the kitchen screamed at her. She knew she would have a lot of work to do to make her new house livable”, the non - human object is “wallpaper”. The human trait is “screamed” (make a loud, vocal sound like a person).
• Question 10:
  • For “William knew that he shouldn’t have eaten the last cookie out of the cookie jar. He knew that his father loved to eat chocolate chip cookies after work, but William ate the last one anyway. Now as he waited for his father to come home, guilt poked and chewed at William. As delicious as the cookie was, William now wished that he had never opened that cookie jar”, the non - human concept is “guilt”. The human traits are “poked” and “chewed” (physical actions that a human could perform).
