Question

While Cara sits on the park bench, Bobo, the pet hamster, peeks from her pocket and lectures Cara about her forgetting to do her homework.

Which term applies to the above description?

protagonist

antagonist

foreshadowing

personification

There was a man of the island of Hawaii, whom I shall call Keawe; for the truth is, he still lives, and his name must be kept secret; but the place of his birth was not far from Honaunau, where the bones of Keawe the Great lie hidden in a cave. This man was poor, brave, and active; he could read and write like a schoolmaster; he was a first-rate mariner besides, sailed for some time in the island steamers, and steered a whaleboat on the Hamakua coast. At length it came in Keawe's mind to have a sight of the great world and foreign cities, and he shipped on a vessel bound to San Francisco.

Who is the "I" in the first sentence?

a minor character

Keawe himself

Keawe's best friend

the author

What is the attitude of the author toward Keawe?

indifferent

rather doubtful

very favorable

it is impossible to tell

Who is the "I" in the first sentence?

a minor character

Keawe himself

Keawe's best friend

the author

Answer 1

So, for the hamster, I'd say personification, because the author is giving human characteristics to a non-human object.

for the other, The "I" in the paragraph is the author, and he is very favorable to Keawe, judging by how he says writes well (like a schoolmaster), sails like a first-rate mariner, etc.
