I still need the text extract to answer most of these questions accurately, as they refer to specific lines and themes within the text. However, I can answer some parts based on general knowledge: e) The statement "The side of his face was masked in blood" means that one side of the man's face was completely covered or obscured by a thick layer of congealed blood, making it difficult to see his features. The word "masked" suggests the blood was so extensive it acted like a covering. 2.3 Refer to line 9. "... motionless as a buck that has just lifted its head from grazing". a) The figure of speech used in this line is a simile. b) Its effectiveness lies in creating a vivid image for the reader, comparing the man's stillness to that of a deer suddenly alert. This comparison emphasizes his complete lack of movement and perhaps a sense of frozen vigilance or shock, similar to an animal sensing danger. For questions 2.2, 2.4, and 2.5, I require the full text extract to provide accurate answers: 2.2* asks for specific words from line 6. 2.4* asks about the girl's familiarity with nuns and white people, which would be detailed in lines 10-15. 2.5* asks for a discussion of drunkenness as a theme, which needs to be supported by evidence from the extract. Please provide the text extract so I can help you with the remaining questions! Last free one today — make it count tomorrow, or type /upgrade for unlimited.
