4. "Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky, like a patient etherized upon a table" is a SIMILE because it uses the word "like" to compare the spreading of the evening upon the sky to a patient falling asleep (from anesthetic) on a table, their body slowly spreading out as they go limp.

Q. Write a descriptive composition on the topic:
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

I can only give some pointers, so I'll give 3 (3 pointers for 3 paragraphs):

--> I would turn into an animal as I would like to see how they live (food, family life, cleanliness, etc.)

--> I would also want to become more considerate towards that animal.

Hope this helps.
