<u>Answer:</u>

Normally, a simile compares the present event or people with another thing in a poem. If the simile carries so much detail and extends up to several lines, then it is called epic simile. In the lines 81-89, the simile explains about the survivor of the wrecked boat who finally manages to reach the shore.

He can finally hold his wife after a long time. Odysseus was also lost for a long time and is finding a way to return to Penelope. When he finally reaches the land, he cries in excitement like the survivor of the crashed boat.

In today’s society can you talk about a time a gesture by another person pushed you over the edge?
Mumz [18]

In today's society we are taught to hold up and pent up our feelings which causes such sudden bursts.

Explanation:

There are times when something someone does that is only partially annoying that pushes someone over the edge.

Sometimes this is because of all the pent up anger and feelings that are yet to be expressed and the existence of the person in the middle of the modern society makes them hard to be expressed too.

Thus, we burst out at people rather unnecessarily in some cases even.

This means that people would often lay out essentially useless anger at an innocuous thing.

How does the flow of energy as heat in earth’s interior contribute to the movement of tectonic plates?explain what would happen
Verizon [17]
If earth was not a connecting system then the heat from its interior wouldn’t have effect on the tectonic plate at all. The heat from the interior causes the tectonic plates to shift, which effects the oceans sea floor and does cause volcanos to be created.
