Question

How does the quote below from “Hunger”, by Richard Wright show figurative language? Explain.

How does this meaning affect the readers u understanding and reactions to the story?


“Hunger stole upon me so slowly that at first, I was not aware of what hunger really mean’t.”

Answer 1

i think its a Idiom and personification but im not so sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

the author gives human-like emotions to hunger which gives it personification. The fact that they refer it to as being stolen upon him slowly may give it the idiom.

again not 100% sure, but it might help you decide.
