Describe, in your own words, how petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love. use examples from the text to support your argument. your answer should be at least 250 words.

The defintion of a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied that is not literal.  So for example he metaphorically refers to Laura by using religious words, such as "smiling angel's glance" or "pardisal dance".  

He then also uses "grains of dust" as a metaphor because she literally didn't turn into grains of dust.    

Since she is dead, he may be using religious metaphors to maybe escalate her into a higher being, or something that is unattainable now that she is dead.  It's possible that  the real Laura was also married to a Count, which also makes her unattainable.  

yo it cool and all : )

explanation:

the correct answer is option d. none of these. it is noted that options a, b, and c share the same content.

despite the valid answer provided at the last sentence of each of the options, a question/answer format shouldn't include humourous themed responses such as "you bet your thermal pj's we do." - unless of course, the answer is carried out in an informal environment. this could be replaced with a simple "yes" or "it is necessary".

the question should be re-phrased to a more appropiate syntaxis. instead of "do we need the greenhouse effect? ", it should be written as "is the greenhouse effect necessary? " in order to give it a general scope, instead of limiting the answer to the needs of "we" the humans.
