Throughout the novel (Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds), Will uses figurative language (simile, metaphor) to describe things or f

eelings. For example, when he holds Shawn’s gun for the first time, he notes that it is, “Heavier than/I expected/like holding/a newborn.” In this example, the juxtaposition of the image of a newborn baby with the weight of the gun highlights the deadliness of the gun and loss of Will’s innocence. Find an example of figurative language that you think is especially effective and explain why it is significant.

Answer:

Pushing the pistol under my pillow like a lost tooth. This is significant because he, again, is comparing the deadliness of the gun to the innocence of putting your tooth underneath your pillow for the tooth fairy.

PLZZZZZ HELP!!!!!
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

C. becoming a parent

Explanation:

C is the correct answer because family members have different perspectives of each other. As a child of a parent, the child may feel the parent always bosses them around and does everything bad for them. However, the parent may feel as if they're helping the child by being strict, telling them to do this and that, and more. Additionally, an older sibling may hate a younger sibling because they want privacy, but the younger one just wants some time.

Answers A, B, and D are completely unrelated to the perspectives of family, so they cannot be the answer.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
