Read the passage describing Achilles: "Thus while he roused the fire in every breast, Close and more close the listening cohorts

press'd; Ranks wedged in ranks; of arms a steely ring Still grows, and spreads, and thickens round the king. As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, And round him wide the rising structure grows: So helm to helm, and crest to crest they throng, Shield urged on shield, and man drove man along; Thick, undistinguish'd plumes, together join'd, Float in one sea, and wave before the wind." Identify the extended simile in this passage. How does it add meaning to the text? Support your response using evidence from the text.

The extended simile in the passage is: <span>As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, And round him wide the rising structure grows

A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the: 

a. strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms

b. size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war. HOPE THIS HELPED! :)</span>

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

c. "But their sacrifice brought results. Slowly, but surely, restaurants throughout the South began to abandon their policies of segregation."

Explanation:

The question above is related to the "sit-in movement" that happened in the USA (starting <em>1960</em>). The movement was a non-violent one and it was meant to give the African-Americans the<u> same, equal rights with the white peopl</u>e. It took many sacrifices before the movement showed results.

It started with the lunch-counter sit-in in Greensboro, North Carolina. This was followed by other people in the USA who also did the tactics as a support for desegregation of races. Though it took time, the restaurants throughout the South began to abandon their policies of segregation. This statement best supports the idea regarding the violence that the activists endured while doing the movement. The people who participated were subjected to<em> verbal abuse </em>and<em> assault</em>, but they suffered in order to achieve a <em>greater cause.</em>
