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>".

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

After Johnny kills Bob Sheldon in self-defense, he and Pony travel to Windrixville, where they hide out in an abandoned church on Jay Mountain and wait until things settle down back home. When Dally comes up to visit them, he takes the boys out to eat at Dairy Queen. After their meal, Johnny announces that he plans on turning himself in to the police, which upsets Dally, who drives the boys back to their hideout. As soon as they arrive back at the abandoned church, they discover that it is on fire and learn that there are children trapped inside the building. A man standing outside the burning building quickly explains the situation to the boys, and Pony immediately takes the blame for starting the church fire. Pony tells Johnny that they must have dropped a lit cigarette or something which caused the old church to ignite. Pony and Johnny proceed to enter the burning church and save all the children before the building collapses. Tragically, a flaming beam falls on Johnny and breaks his back, leaving him in critical condition.
