Which word or phrase in the passage helps the reader understand the meaning of the word "ejects"? Shooting Stars Have you ever l

ooked up at the night sky and noticed a beautiful streak of light appear and then quickly disappear? People call this streak a shooting star. However, what you see is not a star at all. A shooting star may look like a ray of light, but it is actually a big lump of rock and metal known as a meteoroid. For over 1,000 million years, ever since the formation of stars and planets, these meteoroids have been revolving around the sun. A meteoroid travels at such an incredible speed that it begins to emit a hot red glow and ejects small particles of rocks that are burnt away. The tiny particles that it casts out trail behind and freeze instantly due to the extremely cold temperatures in space. This creates a beautiful shimmering tail behind the meteoroid. Often while revolving around the sun, the meteoroid comes close to the Earth and enters its atmosphere. The atmosphere changes the rock from red-hot to white-hot as it begins to crumble.

Read this sentence from the excerpt from Twelve Years a Slave:

I always like to think of figurative meaning as deeper meaning: what is the narrator really trying to get the reader to understand? Once you have your answer, think about the key words in that excerpt that helped you uncover the figurative meaning-- these will always be figurative devices, so you're already half way through this question. (pro tip: stick to the text to uncover it-- don't stray to far from the information you are being provided)

Lastly, you're being asked to identify literary devices here, do you notice any symbols? Something that usually stands for something else that might relate to that deeper/figurative meaning? Also, think about how the way in which the author phrased these symbols impacted the overall deeper meaning.
