Identify and literary device wiesel uses in this lines: "at first, my father simply doubled over under the blows, but then he seemed to break in two like an old tree struck by lighting." what does the comparison of idek to lighting emphasize to the reader?

The literary device used is the metaphor. It was used in the comparison between Idek and light. This comparison was made to show that Idek is as strong as the lightning of a ray that has the ability to split a tree in half.

Explanation:

The metaphor is a literary device that has the ability to make a subjective comparison between two factors that are not related, but the metaphor allows the meaning of one to be seen in the other.

An example of this is the comparison between Idek and the light, shown in the text above. The light that the text refers to is the light of a ray that has the ability to cut a tree in half.

When the metaphor is placed in the text to compare these two factors, the author is saying that Idek was as strong, violent and threatening as lightning is for a tree.

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
