James Baldwin's Take on the Effects of Prejudice

Question 5 • DBN LA 6-CR

Which device does Baldwin use when he says, “This fight begins, however, in the heart”?

Answer
A
simile
B
figurative language

Explanation

Baldwin uses figurative language by placing the beginning of a “fight” in the “heart.” The heart here suggests a person’s inner feelings or convictions, rather than a literal physical location. This is not a simile because the sentence does not compare two things using “like” or “as.”
