This song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.
The group's lead singer, Dan Reynolds, explained that the song "is about overcoming emotional and physical pain." He had suffered a serious form of arthritis that was very painful.
I was choking in the crowd
Living my brain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
How does this section develop the reader's understanding of how a simile works?
Explanation:
Being told what the song is about, helps the reader understand the lyrics.
Because the reader is told what the song is about, we know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics reinforce what the song is about, like how a simile reinforces what a passage is about. Think about this: If an author wrote, "The man was as brave as a lion,", instead of, "The man was brave", this is a much better choice of words.
Similarly to the passage, by using similes in the lyrics to better emphasize overcoming emotional and physical pain, the song helps the reader understand better the message of the song.
Answer:
So, by reading the section, the reader understands that a simile is about two things being compared to one another, like how the song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.

As if merely ___________ according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…
Answer:
As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren’t strenuous enough…
Explanation:
The word "subsist" is a gerund that means sustenance, dependent, survival on one's own. In other words, it means the ability or capacity to support and survive by oneself on a minimal level.
The given line "as if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough..." is from Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild." The lines go like this-
As if merely subsisting according to his self-imposed rules weren't strenuous enough, Rosellini also exercised compulsively whenever he wasn't occupied with foraging. He filled his days with calisthenics, weight lifting, and running, often with a load of rocks on his back. During one apparently typical summer, he reported covering an average of eighteen miles daily.
Thus, the correct word for the blank in the line is "subsisting".
Essay 2:
What kind of beauty is Lord Byron defining in "She Walks in Beauty?" Is this a kind of beauty
you can make sense of? Does it seem more like part of real life or fantasy? Write an essay in
which you discuss your viewpoint on the beauty you think he defines in the poem. Use evidence
from the text to support your response.
Answer:
In the poem "She Walks in Beauty," Byron describes the beauty of an unnamed woman. He describes this beauty in terms of the contrast and balance of light and dark. In this way, he shows that the woman’s beauty is not unearthly, but it is still unusual.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
In the last stanza of the poem, Byron connects this outward beauty to a strong inner beauty:
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
This kind of beauty does exist in daily life. Good actions and a life well lived can also give a person natural grace, which is a realistic kind of beauty.

Children under age 10 should not have a cell phone because they are not responsible enough to care for and properly handle this type of technology.
Answer:
In a way they should and should not
Explanation:
The reason I think that they should is because if something happens and they need help they need to have someone to call or text especially if it is an emergency. Most kids under the age of ten are actually smart the age I think that should have phones are maybe 7 and older.
Children under the age of 10 should have a cell phone because, under the right guidance, they can learn the importance of it. It shows them that you trust them with important things and it may impact their behavior towards a parent or guardian.
Another reason they should have a cell phone is that it provides a form of protection. Some parents and guardians let their children out on their own at a very young age. Without protection, the child has a higher risk of getting kidnapped or hurt.

He came over the hill and through the garden.
the prepositional phrase is\are
Answer:
over the hill; through the garden.
Explanation:
A preposition can be defined as a word that shows or illustrates the relationship between a pronoun or noun and other words in a sentence. Some examples of a preposition used in various literary works in English language are up, below, after, by, against, for, over, at, to, etc.
The main purpose of a preposition as a part of speech is to introduce an object (of, upon), indicate a timeframe (from, by, over), show direction (to, across, along), location or place (at, up, after, below) and to illustrate the spatial or sequential relationship between two or more things, people, place, etc.
A prepositional phrase can be defined as a phrase that starts with a preposition such as over, through, to, below, on, etc., and ends with a noun such as hill, garden, bridge, school, hospital, etc.
In this scenario, the prepositional phrase in the sentence are "over the hill" and "through the garden."

The Guadalupe Mountains
No one knows when the fut people came to the Guadalupe Mountains infor
west Texas, but archaeological evidence Gates back over 10.000 years ago. The earliest
inhabitants were her gatherers who fotowed avtale game and ripening
vegetation. They lived in and among the many caves and coves common throughout
the range. Scattered evidence of their ende, including projectile points baskets
pottery, and rock art has been found throughout the mountain range
Since then myfferent groups have moved in and out of the area, Induding the
Spanish who arrived by the mid 1500s. There is the evidence of any attempts on the
part to penetrate the Guadalupes. No large scale settlements have been located. Ther
influence was significant, though because they introduced horses into the wea for the
bands of Apaches who roamed freely over much of the southwest, horses quickly
became an asset to their nomadic style. The Mescalero Apaches followed game,
much as the earlier peoples had done, and they so harvested the apare for mesca
for food and fiber Mescalero is the name given to them by the Sparvh it means
mesc maker. Apoveroasting pits and other remains of escalier campsites are
common in the mountains
Prior to the mid 1800s, the Guadalupes remained an unchallenged Sanctuary for the
Mescalero Apaches. But newly established transportation routes, and the end of the
Civil War, encouraged droves of pioneers, homesteaders muners and numerous others
to head west. In the mid 1800s, explorers were commissioned to look for possible
emigrant routes to the west. The proposed transcontinental red expected to follow
one of these routes through these wurveying expedition would never lead to a
road through Guadalupe Pass they did provide the first extensive studies of the
Guadalupe region
