Message: <blockquote data-quote="WhitneyB1" data-source="post: 2272946" data-attributes="member: 793753">1) "There were carved garlands on the panelled walls... i know what kind of loops i thought they looked like."2) "There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton of truth that we never did." I'm thinking this may be a theme but I'm confused.3) "Overcame that bad habit of living" this is a hyperbole right?If neither of these are metaphors or any figurative language really can someone please write an example from Great Expectations by Dickens?Thank you. Any help would be awesome.</blockquote>
