Unit 2 AP Literature

metahpor

comparison without like or as

The simile in lines 21-22 ("like . . . subtitles") primarily serves to illustrate

how crucial the word "like" is to people's ability to communicate with each other

In the context of the poem, which image most fully reflects the speaker's disapproval of the neighbor's attitudes?

"He moves in darkness" (line 41)

In line 6, "them" refers to

"hunters" (line 5)

Similie

A comparison using "like" or "as"

In line 40 ("like . . . armed"), the speaker uses a simile to draw attention to the contrast between

two distinct perspectives of the world

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, Ignatius' reference to "theology and geometry" conveys which of the following?

His pretentious use of abstract concepts to justify his own preferences

How does the speaker's repetition of the neighbor's cherished belief about the importance of walls (lines 27 and 45) convey the poem's criticism of an undesirable social pattern?

The speaker treats the neighbor's words about fences as evidence of a world view that is closed-minded in general.

Which of the following best describes how the contrast between Ignatius' and the narrator's perspectives contributes to the portrayal of Ignatius in the passage?

While Ignatius' own thoughts and opinions indicate that he is an unusual person, the narrator's description extends his unconventionality to being peculiar.

In lines 1-2, the speaker describes "Like" as a "semi-demi goddess" primarily to emphasize the

almost religious devotion people have to collecting "likes" on social media

In the first sentence of the passage, the description of Ignatius' head as a "fleshy balloon" contributes to the narrator's portrayal of Ignatius'

distasteful physical appearance

By juxtaposing the narrator's commentary on Ignatius' appearance with the narrator's account of Ignatius' inner thoughts, the first two paragraphs of the passage highlight the inconsistency between Ignatius'

judgmental attitude and his questionable clothes and grooming

In the second sentence of the first paragraph ("The green . . . once"), the description of Ignatius' earflaps as being "like turn signals" contributes to the narrator's overall tone of

mockery

The effect of the passage's overall structure is to

present Ignatius' thought processes as they occur

Ignatius' actions and thoughts in the final paragraph of the passage most clearly serve to convey his

self-centered focus on his own needs

Line 28 ("Spring . . . wonder") most clearly marks a shift in the speaker's focus from the practical task at hand to

speculation about the nature of fences and boundaries

The repetition of versions of the word "like" at the end of each line of the poem does all of the following EXCEPT

suggest that the speaker's vocabulary is limited

In context, Ignatius' observations contrasting his own clothing with that of the people around him (paragraph 1) most clearly serve to emphasize

the unconventional nature of Ignatius' priorities and values

In lines 26-27 ("Displaces . . . nest"), the metaphor of "endangered hatchlings" suggests that "Like"

threatens to eliminate more sophisticated language

The repetition of line 1 ("Something . . . wall") in line 35 most clearly reflects the speaker's

unfulfilled impulse to share his personal reflections with the neighbor
