Explanation:

What are the 5 examples of metaphor?

Everyday Life Metaphors

John's suggestion was just a Band-Aid for the problem.

The cast on his broken leg was a plaster shackle.

Laughter is the music of the soul.

America is a melting pot.

Her lovely voice was music to his ears.

The world is a stage.

My kid's room is a disaster area.

Life is a rollercoaster.

Answer 2

Answer:  Three literary elements Roald Dahl effectively uses are mood, tone, and imagery.

Mood is the emotion or atmosphere of a story. One example of mood is hungry.

For example, “They went from morning to night with horrible, empty feelings in their stomachs.”

The fact that they do not have anything to eat shows us that they are feeling so hungry.

This makes the characters seem like real people that you might see starving on the side of the road.

While mood is the character’s emotions, tone is how I feel about the character.

An example of tone is when the author describes Charlie Bucket’s house. For example,

“Six grownups and little Charlie lived in a small wooden house on the edge of a great town.

” This makes the story interesting because when I read about the Bucket’s house, I feel bad for the family

While tone is how I feel about the character, imagery is when the author uses sentences in a way that creates images in your head.

One example of imagery is when the author describes the girl, Veruca Salt. For example, “She would lie on the floor for hours, kicking and screaming in the most disturbing way.”

When I read this, I imagine a very spoiled little girl lying on the floor

yelling and screaming. She’s probably wearing nice clothes and fake crying. This is interesting because I don’t like spoiled people, and reading about a girl who would do that makes me angry, and makes me want to slap some sense into her.

Is the day of the dead is a Mexican version of Halloween or whether this is a misconception?

Answers

Answer:

  The Day of the Dead  IS NOT the Mexican version of Halloween. Mexicans have celebrated the Day of the Dead since the year 1800 B.C.

Day of the Dead doesn’t honor death, but our dead relatives. We welcome the opportunity to reflect upon our lives, our heritage, our ancestors and the meaning and purpose of our own existence.

Altars or ofrendas are not for worship but for offering our love and remembering our departed family members.

The Day of the Dead is a moment to reflect upon one’s life and the cycle of life and death.

Explanation:

Answer:

Day of the Dead is not a mexican version of halloween it's where they celebrate and honor remembered  loved ones who have passed on.

1. What theme do "Fishbone: Ilish" and "Palm Sunday" have in common?
The bad habits of previous generations should be allowed to fade away into the past.
People may have a powerful influence on their descendants long after they have passed away.
People with problems remain a heavy burden on their families for many generations.
The customs and traditions passed down through families are a way of preserving native cultures.

Answers

Answer: People may have a powerful influence on their descendants long after they have passed away.  

Explanation: The common theme in the poems is the influence of the speakers' grandparents on their parents--an influence that reaches down to the next generation.  

People may have a powerful influence on their descendants long after they have passed away is the  theme do "Fishbone: Ilish" and "Palm Sunday" have in common. Hence, option B is correct.

What is powerful influence?

Influential people, things, or events profoundly affect other individuals or events.

Her parents' effect on her is still present. She claims that her decision to retire was unaffected by her personal problems. It's conceivable that his health difficulties influenced his decision in some way. Her parents' influence on her is still felt strongly.

Influence is the capacity to profoundly affect someone or something. A person or thing is indirectly but dramatically changed when they have an affect on it. Sometimes those who have power over others do so unwittingly and sometimes for selfish reasons.

Thus, option B is correct.

What happened in Mr. Barnett’s store when Cassie was finally allowed to visit Strawberry? Explain the event from both Cassie’s and Stacey’s perspective. What was different about the way each character acted and felt?

Answers

Answer: Hey there! Hope this helps!

Big Ma takes T. J., Stacey, and Cassie to the market in the town of Strawberry one day. While Big Ma is visiting the office of Mr. Jamison, trouble-making T. J. convinces the other children to go ahead and do some shopping. In a general store, the clerk waits on white customers and ignores them. Cassie assumes the man has forgotten about them, and so she tugs at his sleeve and reminds him. He yells at her and tells her to get out.

Stacey and Cassie are learning about racism. Cassie does not fully understand the situation in Spokane, Mississippi--she does not understand why Blacks have to back down, and gets confrontational. Stacey, on the other hand, understands that this is necessary in the short-term in order to survive, which is why he tries to get his sister to calm down and walk away from the scene.

Answers

This type of question is really personal. Since I don't know if you have a religion or belief, I will answer with my general knowledge and experience. Feel free to change and adapt this answer to make it fit you.

Answer and Explanation:

Even though I do not see organized religion as something good for me, I do understand the benefits it brings to people in general. Institutions are always flawed, no matter how sacred and lofty the beliefs they preach. However, those institutions offer support and structure to people who enjoy the sense of belonging to a community of like-minded individuals.

At a personal level, I do not see the need to travel to a temple or to memorize prayers and chants. I see myself - body, mind and soul - as a sanctuary. By simply taking a moment, be it minutes or hours, to focus on something without any specific goal, simply for the sake of clearing my mind, I can find peace. I believe human beings are a manifestation of the very universe we observe. We are the universe being aware of itself and its other manifestations. Therefore, I believe we can find, in silence and peace, a sense of self that exacerbates all self-centeredness.

Peace comes from the acceptance of what is. It comes from beholding my own existence, as well as the existence of everything else, as sacred. In this thought, I find love for myself and for the world.

Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch

[1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity.

[2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice.

[3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold.

[4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day.

Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle

[1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me,
so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be.
Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch!
Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such."

[5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice,
but he would not heed the caution in my voice.
I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose,
for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose."

[9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite;
after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite.
His daughter wept for her poor starving dad,
so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad.

[13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became,
and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame.
Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret,
then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret.

What is similar about how the authors show the theme greed can have negative consequences?

A. Both describe how Midas is starving because of his wish
B. Both explain that Midas's daughter becomes a statue
C. Both give details about the golden twig, stone, and bread
D. Both show how Bacchus takes pity on Midas and reverses his wish

What are punctuation and conjunction?

Punctuation and conjunctions are two important elements of written language. Punctuation refers to the use of symbols or marks, such as commas, periods, and question marks, to clarify the meaning and structure of a sentence. Punctuation helps to make writing more readable and easier to understand.

Conjunctions, on the other hand, are words that connect different parts of a sentence, such as "and," "but," and "or." They are used to join words, phrases, and clauses, and help to create more complex and varied sentences. Conjunctions can also indicate the relationship between ideas in a sentence, such as showing contrast, similarity, or cause and effect.

Together, punctuation and conjunctions play a vital role in creating clear and effective writing. Proper use of punctuation and conjunctions can help to avoid ambiguity, clarify meaning, and improve the overall readability and flow of a piece of writing.

Here in the Question,

Option A is a compound sentence that uses a conjunction "and" to connect two independent clauses.

Option C is a simple sentence with one subject and one predicate.

Therefore, Option B is a run-on sentence because it is composed of two complete sentences that are joined together without any punctuation or conjunction. The correct way to write it would be: "We'll need a detour around the flooded road. Here's an alternate route."

Noah recites, "In America you had the forced removal of the native onto reservations coupled with slavery followed by segregation. Imagine all three of those things happening to the same group of people at the same time, that was apartheid" (19-20). Explain how you would react if you were one to experience this a non-European person.

Answers

Answer:

As a non-European, I would react to agree with Noah and feel a strong empathy and emotion for the people who had to live in this system.

Explanation:

Most non-European nations have experienced some form of abuse by Europeans and for this reason, it is easy to agree with other non-Europeans who have experienced very difficult and disadvantageous situations caused by some European nation. Thus, a non-European, on hearing Noah's account of apartheid, would be prone to agree with him and react positively to the information he exposed. In addition to maintaining a strong partnership, by knowing what powerful nations like Europeans can do in less powerful nations.
