Where is anaphora in A Tale of Two Cities?

Answer 1

There are thousands of people at WikiAnswers willing to help you out. However, just giving you test or homework answers wouldn't be helping you at all. It would actually be cheating and that is not what the site is all about.

It always helps to search for a third party website (like this one) that can help explain the material.

If you would like some tips or help getting through your homework, there is a category just for this.

There are also many good sites on Charles Dickens and his works, one of them being the Wikipedia articles. The Friendly Dickens and Dickens A to Z are both excellent references for this kind of in-depth question.

Answer 2

Anaphora can be found in A Tale of Two Cities in the famous opening lines: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

Answer 3

Merriam Webster's first definition of syntax is: the way in which linguistic elements (as words) are put together to form constituents (as phrases or clauses). Syntax is not something that can be extracted as examples.

Yes it can. It just depends on what you're looking for.

Anaphora: It was prevalent everywhere. Hunger was pushed out of the tall houses, in the wretched clothing that hung upon poles and lines; Hunger was patched into them with straw and rag and wood and paper; Hunger was repeated in every fragment of the small modicum of firewood that the man sawed off; Hungerstared down from the smokeless chimneys, and started up from the filthy street that had no offal, among its refuse, of anything to eat. Hunger was the inscription on the baker's shelves, written in every small loaf of his scanty stock of stale bread; at the sausage-shop, in every dead-dog preparation that was offered for sale. Hunger rattled its dry bones among the roasting chestnuts in the turned cylinder; Hunger was shred into atomics in every farthing porringer of husky chips of potato, fried with some reluctant drops of oil.

Epistrophe: ' If you hear in my voice- I don't know that it is so, but I hope it is- if you hear in my voice any resemblance to a voice that once was sweet music in your ears, weep for it, weep for it! If you touch, in touching my hair, anything that recalls a beloved head that lay on your breast when you were young and free, weep for it, weep for it! If, when I hint to you of a Home that is before us, where I will be true to you with all my duty and with all my faithful service, I bring back the remembrance of a Home long desolate, while your poor heart pined away, weep for it, weep for it!

Hope this helps as a few examples
