Well, similes is a comparison between two things using like or as, but in the other hand metaphors are a comparison between two things without using like or as

You can tell because a metaphor does "not " use like or as when making a comparison between two objects. On the other hand , a simile does uses the terms like or as when making a comparison . Example of simile : Her eyes were as blue as the clouds in the sky. That is a simile because you are comparing her eyes using like to the sky. On the other hand, a metaphor example is : all the world's a stage is a metaphor because you are not using like or as and is comparing the world to a stage . Hoped that helped !! :)

Why do all the latin names for the moon related to water and weather?
rusak2 [61]
This might be a partial explanation as to why latin was used....basically...early astronomers didn't know too much about the features during their time so..they used latin as a neutral language ..although now we know to be inaccurate....the names have just stuck.

What's Stamped, chapter 11 about?
Illusion [34]

Just before leaving office at the end of his second presidential term, Jefferson receives a book by the abolitionist scientist Henri Gregoire entitled An Enquiry Concerning the Intellectual and Moral Faculties, and Literature of Negroes. The book features a travel narrative describing “glorious Black nations”; while Gregoire insists that he is not advocating a view of racial equality between white and Black people, he presents the assimilationist view that Black people could successfully be incorporated into white society. Jefferson has begun speaking against slavery in public and oversaw the passing of a law banning illegal slave traders in 1807. However, because there were no stipulations as to how the law would be enforced, it ended up being “empty and mostly symbolic.”

In fact, ending the international slave trade actually benefits enslavers by driving up the price placed on those they hold in bondage. Writing a response to Gregoire, Jefferson repeats the line that no one in the world wants to see Black people advance more than he does. Back in Europe, opinions about Black people are being transformed by a new “exhibit”: a Khoi woman named Sarah Baartman, whose buttocks became an object of fanatical fixation for the French public.
