Answer 1

* **Both characters grew up wealthy, both characters went to the same college, and both characters married early.** **Parallelism:** This uses the same grammatical structure to describe similar elements.* **The Rabbits represents the British Invasion of Australia.** **Allegory:** The Rabbits stands for something else; it's a symbolic representation of a historical event.* **It rained a bit, so we had to boat into town.** **Understatement:** "A bit" of rain clearly wasn't just a drizzle if it necessitated boat travel.* **The prairies are burning up while the east coast is flooding.** **Juxtaposition:** Placing two contrasting ideas (burning and flooding) close together for emphasis.* **Too many die young.** **Overstatement/Hyperbole:** While sadly often true, the statement uses broad, exaggerated language. It could also be considered an **Understatement** depending on the context and the speaker's intention. If the speaker is trying to downplay a tragic situation, it would be an understatement.* **tells and/or personalizes a story** **Narrative:** This is the definition of a narrative.* **Oh, Grandma, I wish you were here to see this foolishness of today.** **Apostrophe:** Addressing an absent person (Grandma) or an abstract entity (foolishness).* **historically accurate article** **Non-fiction:** This describes a factual, rather than fictional, piece of writing.* **It was the beginning of the end.** **Paradox:** This statement seems contradictory, as a beginning implies something new, while an end implies finality. It could also be considered an **Oxymoron** as it combines two opposite concepts ("beginning" and "end") directly next to each other.
