5 0

Both simile and metaphor compare two different things, but the simile uses words such as "like" or "as" to make that comparison, while the metaphor does not.

The 10 similes are the following:

My head felt like a balloon after our roller-coaster ride.
She has lips as rose petals.
His eyes are like two bright stars.
This cake is like a rock!
She said her children are like little tornadoes when they play together.
Mona is as a delicate flower.
My father is so protective I've always said he is like a bear.
Anna swims like a fish, so I am sure she will win the competition.
That poor boy was innocent as a lamb.
My ex was always acting like a queen.

The 10 metaphors are the following:

Her veiny hands were two white spiders when she reached out.
My husband is a lion when someone messes with our kids.
Her hair was a brown ocean of endless waves.
After so many mosquito bites, her legs were constellations.
Chris was quite the Judas, so I will never forgive him.
My sorrow is a deep, dark, bottomless well.
I tried dating him, but his heart is an iceberg.
When we were in love, his embrace was my home.
After working out so much, he has rocks for biceps.
I was but a pawn in her plan to conquer.

<h3>What is the difference between simile and metaphor?</h3>

Both simile and metaphors are types of figurative language that consist of comparing different things. The purpose is to show, with a colorful language, that one thing has certain characteristics that belong to another thing.

The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the simile relies on the use of words such as "like" and "as", whereas the metaphor does not. For example, suppose you want to say someone has soft skin. You can compare it to cotton using either a simile or a metaphor:

Simile: She has skin like cotton.

Metaphor: He skin is cotton.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answers provided above are correct.

To determine the central idea of an essay on man, what should the reader do first?

guapka [62]

To determine the central idea of an essay on man, the reader should first FIND OUT THE SUBJECT OF THE ESSAY AND WHAT THE AUTHOR OVERALL OPINION ABOUT THE SUBJECT IS.

The central idea of an essay or text refers to the main idea in the essay; it is the point that the author is trying to pass across to his readers. Some authors clearly state the main idea of their writings while some authors do not, in this case the central idea has to be determined by inference. An essay may have more than one central ideas. Generally, the central idea of an essay can be found in three different places, which are: in the beginning of the essay, near the end of the essay or it can be implied through the sentences used in the essay.

Which sentence best uses parallel structure?

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Writers use parallel structure in the words and phrases in their sentences. This grammatical form can be used with a variety of structures including infinitives, words, clauses and lists. Parallel structure should be used when you connect clauses with a coordinating conjunction such as: for, and, nor, or, but, so, or yet. Some examples of this include:

Correct: Every morning, we make our bed, eat breakfast and feed the dog.

Incorrect: Every morning, we make our bed, eating breakfast and feed the dog.

On page 47, Laura Bolin Carroll refers to a survey and states that “the US happiness peaked in the 1950s.” As you know or should

podryga [215]

Given the context of the level of happiness in the 1950s, my opinion about the question of whether people were happier when the society was not as equal as it is today is:

It would depend on the group of people as white supremacists would definitely would be happier before the Civil Rights movements and the abolishment of slavery as blacks virtually had no rights and were treated like filth.

However, the blacks and a vast majority of abolitionists and people who wanted an end to slavery and equality would definitely be happier as there seems to be a balance in equality among the whites, blacks and other minority groups than what was obtainable before.

With this in mind, i would say that the people are happier now that the society is more equal than what was obtainable in previous years.
