"But, on one side of the portal, and rooted almost at the threshold, was a wild rose-bush, covered, in this month of June, with its delicate gems, which might be imagined to offer their fragrance and fragile beauty to the prisoner as he went in, and to the condemned criminal as he came forth to his doom" (Chapter 1)
Hawthorne personifies the roses, stating they "offer their fragrance..." Roses are also a major metaphor and symbol for Hester.
An example of personification in The Scarlet Letter is when Nathaniel Hawthorne describes the prison door as having "iron-clamped portals." This description gives the inanimate object human-like qualities by suggesting that it is capable of clamping shut like a hand.
An example of a smile......sounds like homework.....
well at least you should know what a simile is in the first place....
a simile is a comparison between two unlike objects using "like" or "as"
however, if you do know what a simile is then you should get some form of the book in your hands and LOOK for one.......similes are everywhere, IF YOU LOOK FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!
Why the answer to this would be for yous to get off your lazy bum and look it up in the book itself ya lemon!
symbolism
In "The Scarlet Ibis," some examples of personification include describing the storm as "hurrying off to some other coast" and the whispering leaves that sound like a "sad, whispery, mournful voice." Personification adds depth to the story by giving non-human objects or forces human-like qualities, enhancing the emotional impact on the reader.
One example of foreshadowing in "The Scarlet Letter" is when Hester Prynne's daughter Pearl is described as having a wild and uncontrollable nature, which foreshadows the challenges she will pose for Hester in the future. Another example is the initial introduction of the scarlet letter itself, which hints at the shame and punishment that will follow Hester throughout the story.
