Question

(Our Good Day) The House on Mango Street What common does Cathy make towards Rachel and Lucy to describe what she thinks about them? Identify the form of figurative used in these descriptions.

Answer 1

Cathy comments on Rachel and Lucy's house, using personification to describe it.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "The House on Mango Street," Cathy makes a common comment about Rachel and Lucy saying, "You live there?" and then adds, "The one with the stairs, the house I stared at when I came over your house." This comment suggests that Rachel and Lucy's house is different and stands out in some way. The figurative language used in this description is personification, as Cathy is attributing human characteristics (the ability to be stared at) to the house.
