Answer :
The lines that refer to Mallam Sile's social position and economic status from the text are :
1. "Within a week of his arrival in the city, Sile landed a job as a house servant. Although his monthly wages were meagre, he sent a portion of them home to his ailing parents, who lived like paupers in their drought-stricken village."
2. "With his parents deceased, Sile suddenly found himself with more money in his hands. He quit his house-servant job and found another, selling iced kenkey in Kumasi’s central market. Sile kept every pesewa he earned, and two years later he was able to use his savings to open a tea business."
Mallam Sile did not attend his parents' farewell as their village was too far away (more than nine hundred miles) from the city he was working in. However, he sent money for a decent funeral. The reason is clear from the line "Though Sile didn’t travel up north to attend their funeral, he sent money for a decent burial."
Mallam Sile is a tea seller on Zongo street. He is short, stout and hairy in appearance due to which he is often referred to as a "pygmy". He is partially blind from a childhood illness. He is a peace loving person who treats everyone with a lot of kindness. Due to his kindness and simple nature, many people take advantage of him and pay him in credit at his tea shop and the three benches meant for customers are almost always occupied by gossipmongers. He is a very lonely man as he works alone in his tea shop in Kamasi. He is a hard working person but is often cheated by customers using fake notes and claiming to be poor. He is a hard working man who is full of strength and self confidence. He does not mind people making fun of him or spreading rumors about him and is at peace with himself. He is a smart and wise person who knows what he wants from life and strives hard to get it. He has a firm belief that "every man was capable of goodness, just as he was capable of evil." He is unmarried and does not have much success with women until he meets Abeeba, whom he marries at the age of forty six.
Nothing much has been mentioned in the text about Sile's relationship with his parents. Mallam Sile had left home at the age of sixteen to earn money for the treatment of his aged, ill and bed-ridden parents. However, the little that he earns is not enough to save them from the clutches of death. The lines "The young Sile received the news of his parents’ death with mixed emotions. He was sad to lose them, of course, but he saw it as a well-deserved rest for them, as they both had been ill and bedridden for many months." best describe the relationship he shares with his parents.

Hello. The full question is:
When he's speaking of his time in the camps hoping for rescue, Wiesel writes, "If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have moved heaven and earth to intervene." What kind of figurative language is this (metaphor, personification, hyperbole)? How does it support Wiesel's main ideas about indifference?
Answer:
metaphor
Explanation:
Wiesel uses metaphor to compare the indifference of political leaders to the lack of information about what was happening in the Nazi concentration camps. And it shows that the people who had the power to intervene in the atrocities that were happening to the Jews, did not, in fact, know how this situation was happening and that was why they were indifferent and did not present any concern or intervention.
The metaphor is a figure of speech that promotes an implicit or explained relationship between two elements that have some kind of relationship.
It is a metaphor and it is like a loud sound, thunder, or lightning, hope I could help
Answer:
"Natures First Green Is Gold," indicates nature's first green is youth, because every living thing begins with youth.
"Her Hardest Hue To Hold," represents that youth is very hard to keep because they get older in age.
Explanation:
This poem has 2 meanings, Good things never last forever, and youth and innocence. That life may seem perfect when going right, but this won't stay forever. Every living things is beautiful, and every beautiful things may eventually die. Robert Frost is saying good things will not stay forever. Many times in a person's life there will be unhappiness and sorrow, the good times will end. Even though the great times will end. Even though the great times come to an end, they will be followed by more great times.
