Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

Simile is a figurative language used in poetry where a comparison has been made of one thing from another, though they are of different kinds. Similes re used to provide a more vivid image/ picture of the thing that has been described.

In Robert Frost's poem "Mending Walls", he talks of two neighbors mending their fence. By the act of repairing the stone wall in between their properties, the men met up every year to mend it. And by picking up the stones only from their own sides, the speaker is suggesting that the men do not interfere in each other's lives or issues. Rather, they focus on their own lives and rebuild the fence, an image of demarcation of their own separate lives.

The simile is seen in the 38th line of the poem when the speaker describes his neighbor strength in their act of repairing the wall. To him, he looked like a primitive "<em>old-stone savage</em>" man wh<em>o "grasped [the stone] firmly by the top in his hand</em>".

What details and examples does the author provide that Cleopatra relied on the support of men but that she also felt they could
Darina [25.2K]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to know the details and example that the author used, with the reading of the text. However, according to the knowledge we have about Cleopatra, we can infer that the author may have shown that because she was a woman, Cleopatra's leadership was often questioned and devalued and therefore, she needed support from men for the policies created by her were efficiently established. However, while these men helped her, they also wanted to take her power, making them unreliable.

Which describes how the young soldiers behavior reveals a moral dilemma
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

In "The Book of Martha,” Martha is faced with a moral dilemma about how to improve humanity. She can make any change she desires. Martha tells God, "I was born poor, black, and female to a fourteen-year-old mother who could barely read. We were homeless half the time while I was growing up.” Martha grew up to become a successful writer. As a result of this, Martha understands that people need to have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in order to live a good life. Thus, her response to the dilemma is to provide people with a sense of personal satisfaction in their dreams in the hopes that this promote peace and well-being. One theme of the story is that  imagination has an impact on reality. Martha believes that people’s dreams transform them. As the story progresses, and Martha gains confidence in her choice, Martha’s image of God changes, and he begins to look and sound more like her.
