What, can the devil speak true? A foil is a character that takes the same path as the main character but makes a different decision. Banquo is a perfect foil to MacBeth. 'Banquo and Macbeth, all hail' Banquo was with MacBeth when he met the witches, the witches could have chosen Banquo instead of MacBeth. Also Banquo tells MacBeth that he is doomed if he trusts the witches, this is when Banquo makes a different decision than Macbeth and be comes a foil. Banquo was in the same situations as Macbeth, and if it weren't for the witches deciding to mess with MacBeth's head instead, Banquo would be doing the same thing as MacBeth

Heroic couplet-
1. 2 lines in iambic pentameter that rhyme
2. Sometimes at the end of a soliloquy
i.e. Hear it not  Duncan for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven, or to hell.

2. 'I'm invisible, see? One of the invisible people'. In the book Stone Cold Link is a growing character, even through his difficult life. By living on the streets of London, Link became braver, more street wise and learnt how to survive with little money. When he lived on the streets in his home town he was scared and when to his sisters to get a meal and a good night sleep. But when he moved to London, all that changed, he had to survive on his own. By living in London Link made friends with Ginger, who helped him survive. He taught Link a lot and helped him find food and fend for himself. By moving to London Link's mindset had to change, he had to be aware of possible threats and had to concentrate on getting money more.

3. 'Slaves crammed together like sardines'. The book stone cold has a lot of description about different places that he has to live.The author describes different places in the story in different amounts of detail. At the beginning Link is living at home with his mum, his house is not described much, it just mentions that it is in 'Bradford, Yorkshire' and that's it. Whereas on page 70 it uses a lot more description when describing somewhere that he lived when he was homeless, for example 'the stench of too many damp, unwashed bodies' is description about a boat. That author does this because the house at the beginning is quite normal for most people, but a boat that homeless people pay to sleep in is not something that most of the readers have done so it is more important to describe. It isn't necessary to describe a not so important place place that isn't so important to the plot.
