What is a comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as"?

A simile is a comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as".

For example:

"John was like an eagle, as he quickly spotted the rabbit, and was able to capture it."

Note that the word like was used, and that it compared John with the eagle

We held our breath as the basketball made an arc toward the basket and then sunk into the net with a satisfying whoosh.

mr Goodwill [35]

We can see that there is a narration about the basketball which was being played and how there was a successful basket made.

<h3>Onomatopoeia</h3>

This is a figure of speech which makes use of sounds to form a word and also to draw attention to the details of a text.

Which detail from the novel is referenced in the

galben [10]

Hello. You didn't say which novel this question is referring to. This makes it impossible for this question to be answered, but I can help by showing you what a primary source is and showing you how to find it in the novel.

Primary source is a document that reports the events of a historic event. However, this document was created at the time that this event is taking place.

In this case, the novel you are studying to answer that question, will bring a primary source when showing a document about one of the historical events mentioned above, at the time when these events occur.

For you to understand better, imagine that you are reading a novel where one of the characters is a doctor and is reporting in a diary the operation of a hospital during the coronavirus pandemic. In this case, the doctor's diary is a primary source to which the novel is referencing.

Your chum has been a perpetual truants in class.write a letter to his or her guardian's reporting his or her behaviour and likel

VLD [36.1K]

To write a letter to someone's guardians:

First, address the guardians. If we do not know the name of them, write Dear sir or madam. If we do, we write dear Mr (surname) and Mrs (surname).

In the first paragraph, greet them and introduce the reason for our letter. In this case, it is to inform about the behavior of our friend.

In the body of the letter, explain in detail the letter's topic. In other words, explain how the person is not assisting to classes and the likely repercussions that this can have. For example, we can inform them about the possibility of failing in tests or the subject or having to attend summer school. Also, we can talk about how this can impact in the future, as regards universities.

In the last paragraph, there should be a sentence explaining your concern. Besides, ask the guardians for help.

Say goodbye in a formal way, such as "yours faithfully or kindest regards." Lastly, sing the letter.

Before writing the letter, brainstorm some ideas, like immediate and long-term consequences for truants in class.

After you have ideas, plan every section of the letter. You can have some draft sentences and a list of connectors that you would use.

Lastly, join the different parts and complete them with some more information or accurate words.
