what would be a metaphor and a simile for The old man stumbled​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The main difference between a simile and metaphor is that a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison and a metaphor simply states the comparison without using "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: She is as innocent as an angel. An example of a metaphor is: She is an angel.

Answer 2

Answer:

"The old man stumbled like a broken record, his grin a grainy tune"

Explanation:

A Simile, by dictionary definition, is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing, whereas a Metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. For example:

"Her heart is like gold"

"Her heart is gold"

Here, the former is a simile, and the latter is a metaphor. In the first one, we are comparing the girl's heart to gold, and in the second, we state that her heart is gold.

Taking the original sentence: "The old man stumbled".

And then my answer sentence: "The old man stumbled like a broken record, his gravely grin a grainy tune".

Here, the words "...stumbled like a broken record" is the token simile. We can see this with the key words "like and as"

The metaphor in the sentence is the way I described his smile. Comparing it to an object or thing that can't literally make sense—the grainy tunes of an old record player.

— Hope this helps!! Brainliest appreciated ♥

Why is it so quiet? Why can't I move? And why is it so dark? I try to recall where I am, but I cannot remember. Blackness surrounds me.
I hear a familiar voice that makes my heart flutter like a thousand butterflies. It is the voice of my friend, Maddy. She visits her grandparents here on the Gulf of Mexico every summer. She usually brings me crumbs, but today, I cannot smell anything except the sour smell of oil.
Her voice sounds worried, different from the usual cheerful greeting that she calls me with every day at dusk. I try to turn towards her, but I can't move very well. My feet feel mired as if in quicksand.
I hear her come closer. Her words help me understand that something has happened to my home.
"Oh, grandma! What is all this? They are all covered in it! It's black. Ugh! The smell is so strong I can't stand it." Maddy's tears stream down her face, mingling with mine. I hear her crying, but all is dark, like a moonless night. Where is the smiling sun? I try to stretch out to feel the warmth, but my wings do not respond.
Dazed, I call out to my friends hoping they will find me in the blackness, but everything is so still. I hear nothing, except for Maddy's desperation. Her sobs, uncontrollable.
"Go get some towels, Maddy. Run!" Her grandma tells her, a quiet urgency in her voice.
"Hey little one," grandma coos as she bends over me. I can feel her breath on my head. "We've got you and you are going to do all we can for you." All they can? I hear Maddy's hurried footsteps and feel the towel's softness enveloping me as she picks me up in her arms. She is gentle, her sobs quieting as she takes me to her home, seemingly miles and miles from my nest along the shoreline.
I hear the phone ring. I hear the news on the television.
"Spill...oil...negligence...BP...blame..."
"What are we going to do?"
I hear the door banging and neighbors' voices, shrill and urgent, coming in and out of the house. All of the sounds tell me that the emergency is intensifying.
I still cannot see anything. Maybe it is good that I cannot see. If I could, I might see my home, blackened with the oil of a mishandled well deep in the ocean. I would see my friends, covered in slick crudeness. I would desperately observe the choking, billowing smoke, polluting the Gulf sky, my home. I would see my family unable to fly through the air, unable to dive into the ocean for the delicious meals we used to find there. I fear our fish are no more; they are stuck in the depths of the black, watery grave.
What are we going to do? What are we going to do? I hope the humans will do something to bring light to all of the blackness.
I hear Maddy, making sweet, soothing sounds as she begins to clean my feathers gently. I hear that sound often. It's the sound humans make on the beach when their babies are frightened.

Select one:
drama
comedy

tragedy

Answers

Answer:

tragedy.

Explanation:

A play can be defined as a literary work that presents the dialogue between characters, as well as portrayal of fictional and non-fictional events in a theater.

In a play, a character list comprises of both protagonists and antagonists that are featured in a play. A protagonist is the lead, principal or chief (main) character in a story, play or film. Thus, a protagonist refers to the character that is being closely followed by an audience or a reader in order to determine the character's fate at the end of the story or play. An antagonist is a character that opposes the protagonist.

In Literature, character development can be defined as a literary process or technique in which a writer portrays people as being real or believable in a work of fiction by ascribing depth (details) and personality to them.

Basically, various writers or authors use character development to make the audience or readers learn so much more about the characters as they develop in the story.

A play in which the main character (protagonist) suffers a terrible downfall is called a tragedy. It usually involves the loss of a life, fatal injury or a disastrous event and as such doesn't have a happy ending.

Explanation:

When I went there, she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tigerlike fierceness. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better.

What does the poet mean by the line 'Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair!’? What does it reveal about Ozymandias as a king?​

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

In the poem "Ozymandias" by Percy Shelley, the speaker recounts the story told by a traveler, who found the ruins of what was once a kingdom. Among the ruins was the statue of a king, Ozymandias, and the inscription, "Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair!" The line shows how arrogant Ozymandias was. He did not seem to consider his own frailty as a human being, much less the possibility of his kingdom being destroyed in the future. It is quite ironical to read such boastful words when all there is around is in ruins. Nothing is left besides the words themselves. Even their meaning is lost.

The opposition to his line of thinking wanted peace for various reasons and he acknowledges these in all the options except option A. In option A he was simply stating that the only purpose the British could have for the massive army they were assembling was to subjugate the Americas.

What is the relationship between the Age of Discovery and Christianity?

B. The Age of Discovery allowed people to be exposed to other

C. The Age of Discovery saw an increase in ocean travel, which
allowed churches to send representatives to distant lands to

D. Christianity saw an increase in the number of people attending
churches due to their fear of foreign peoples

Answers

Answer:

C. The Age of Discovery saw an increase in ocean travel, which allowed churches to send representatives to distant lands to spread Christianity.

Explanation:

The Age of Discovery is also known as Age of Exploration and it refers to an early period between the 15th century and 17th century in Europe. It was a period that was typically characterized by sea-faring by European countries such as Portugal and Spain to explore various geographical regions around the world.

The Age of Discovery is notably and famously known for exploration through sea-faring (ocean travel) and it led to the discovery of the New World (America), as well as other unknown geographical locations.

Some prominent examples include the Columbian Exchange, the transatlantic exploration (voyage) by Christopher Columbus, Portuguese discoveries (Azores and Archipelagos of Madeira), etc., across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

Hence, the relationship between the Age of Discovery and Christianity was that the Age of Discovery saw an increase in ocean travel, which allowed churches to send representatives to distant lands to spread Christianity.
