The book "<em>If you come softly" </em>was written by Jacqueline Woodson.
The main characters in the story are Jeremiah or Miah and a girl named Elisha or Ellie. They are two teenagers that met in high school and fell in love.
The main themes in the novel are love,religion,social anda racial differences.In the same line as the afore -mentioned topic, Jeremiah remembered an episode of his childhood that involved a cartoon monkey playing basketball. When he saw this , first of all,it caught his attention and provokes shame on him. He felt this way because somehow he felt represented in that monkey as he loved playing this sport. However, to him, the moment he played basketball was the moment his black colour was most notorious.
His impression was that the outside(the society in general,tv commercials)was trying to impose the idea that black people were a problem.

D. Since the father likes taking risks in a game, he might like taking risks in life as well.
This is the best choice. Process of elimination helps when answering this question. From this excerpt, we don't have any clues that the father is possessed or says insane things. We also cannot infer that the woman knitting indicates that the character don't have good clothes to wear. During this time period many women would knit in the evening. We also can't infer that the son is not old enough to play chess. There is nothing to indicate the age of the son or that he doesn't know the rules.
Answer: a: simile b: alliteration c: simile d: personification e: hyperbole f: simile g: simile h: simile i: alliteration j: metaphor
Explanation: Similes are comparing unlike things with like or as. This means that a, c, g and h are similes. However on d it also uses the word as but it's personification. That's because personification is giving nonliving things human like characteristics. A chair cannot wait, but a human can therefore it's personification. Alliteration is the repetiotion of the beginning sound on a set of words. So because most of the words in b and i start with the same sound, it's alliteration. E is a hyperbole because a hyperbole is an exaggeration. The speaker of the statement doesn't actually have a million things to do, they're exaggerating which makes it a hyperbole. Lastly j is a metaphor because it compares 2 unlike things without using like or as, instead using was. Hope this helps :)
