Answer:

<u>It creates a</u><u> melancholy mood</u><u> because the simile tells the reader about the death of Gilbert's mother.</u> It changes the whole fun atmosphere Gilbert was having with his father as his father tells him different stories about the sea and his lonely winters.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Another Place, Another Time," written by<em> Cory Doctorow. </em>It focuses on the life of Gilbert and his curiousness about "time."

His father usually stays home every summer after his winter voyage. This was a particular time when he was home and Gilbert could spend his time with him and ask him several questions.

The simile makes the whole mood different as it reveals the cause of the death of Gilbert's mother and the loneliness of his father.

This law would show up superficially to cross paths with the First Amendment's [p523] opportunity of get together provision. The law was attacked as violative of due process and of the privileges and immunities clause, and as a deprivation of property and of liberty under the Fourteenth Amendment.

It was contended that the club made its individuals increasingly moral, showed discipline, and inspired its members to study harder and to obey better the rules of discipline and order
