The rhetorical device used in the passage is simile, since we have two things being compared with the use of the word "like", as explained below.

<h3>What is simile?</h3>

Simile is a type of figurative language often used as a rhetorical device. The purpose of a simile is to compare two different things so as to give one the qualities of the other. A simile will always rely on the use of words such as "like" or "as".

In the passage "Watching Genna dance is like watching snowflakes swirl in a breeze," two different actions are being compared. Notice that the word "like" is present, which makes the simile quite easy to identify. Perhaps what the speaker means is that Genna dances as beautifully as the snowflakes swirl in a breeze.

What is the theme of “The Oak and the Rose”
Margaret [11]

Answer:

A possible theme could be growing apart

Explanation:

the oak is a tree that will continue to grow and become very tall and will be able to see the view from the top

while the rose will only grow about like 8 inches and stay closer to the ground and won't get the same view as the tree causing it to get a limited view of what it will be able to see

I hope this right and will help you out a little bit.I read this like 3 years ago and just remember writing something like this in my notes.
