Answer:

The term "jungle girl" refers to the girl's personality as somebody who is active.

This term is a<em> metaphor</em> since it describes the<em> African-American girl (Lucille Clifton) </em>in the poem as a<u> "jungle girl</u>" although she is not from the jungle. This simply refers to her "active nature."

Explanation:

Lucille Clifton was an <em>American poet</em> who grew up in an<u><em> African-American life</em></u>. Most of her works, such as the poem "This morning," focuses on her life and family experience. The essence of the poem focuses on <em>how Lucille finally found herself even in the midst of a different society.</em> It also shows her <u>appreciation for her own identity.</u>

How to kill a mockingbird what does jem do that makes the others upset? why does he do it and what does this show about him?
Anarel [89]
<span>Jem is angry with Mr. Davies' angry at Attika, so it destroys the camellia bush. She destroys them with the Scout baton. </span><span>The only explanation of Scout's on Jem's action is that he went mad. We all have the extent and limit of abuse of the words that we can take. James received negative comments from his children about his father's days, but never adults. </span><span>When Mrs. Dubose said, "Your father is better [...] that works for him!" Jem lost it. Interestingly, Jem walked to the store and bought a steam engine and baton with joy, but accumulated negative energy in him. He probably thought of his action while in the store until his anger was out of control. </span>

Read the following excerpt from Henry David Thoreaus resistance to civil government all machines have their friction witch state
MrRa [10]

Answer:

D. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven by greed and evil.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the excerpt, we see that Thoreau actually uses metaphor. He likens the government as a machine. As all machines have their friction, there is need for some good in order to counterbalance the evil. The author sees that when the friction comes is likened to when oppression and robbery are set in and organized.

Metaphor is actually a figure speech that is used to compare two things. It is done without the use of "as" and "like".
