Answer 1

The statements in the question showcase the use of metaphors and hyperboles in figurative language. These figures of speech help to express complex emotions such as insecurity, isolation, and anxiety, which are often felt during adolescence. They deepen the reader's understanding of the speaker's internal world and underscore the intensity of their emotional experiences.

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions relate to identifying and analyzing figurative language in various statements.

• Type: The first statement 'I am fourteen and my skin has betrayed me' uses a metaphor to convey the speaker's struggles with changes in their body, suggesting a sense of betrayal that is more emotional than literal.
• Effect: This metaphor emphasizes the personal disappointment or insecurity that the individual is experiencing.
• Type: The second statement 'What if I die before morning and momma’s in the bedroom with the door closed' contains a hyperbole, for exaggerating the worry of dying overnight, and personification if assuming 'momma' represents a concept with a 'closed door'.
• Effect: The hyperbole highlights the speaker's anxiety and the sense of isolation or being disconnected even in the presence of family.
• Type: The third statement 'I have nothing to wear tomorrow will I live long enough to grow up' also features hyperbole to emphasize uncertainty about the future as well as the speaker's existential concerns.
• Effect: It illustrates the dramatic and often overwhelming nature of these concerns during teenage years.
• The poem excerpt 'The apparition of these faces in the crowd; Petals on a wet, black bough' is another example of a metaphor.

Answer 2

1) Metaphor

Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is a metaphor because your skin cannot actually betray you. Your skin as an organ and without your skin you would not be alive so therefore you skin cannot betray you its a way of speaking.

Remember if you do not remember the language technique label it is "figurative language" you will still get the marks.
