Metaphor is a figure of speech subtlety comparing two different things. It is also used to represent something more than what it actually is.

The above quotation refers to a coat that should be a perfect fit. I think of this as something or a situation that a person finds himself submerged into. One must be involved in something that complements him perfectly. If a situation is not good for such person, he or she must not force it just to make it "fit".

Can someone answer this about themselves :P (1)List three actions of other people in your life and give examples, explaining how
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

1) Close friends being open

2) Family being nice

3) Strangers being rude

Explanation:

3 Actions that have impacted my life are how my friends have been open with themselves, allowing me to realize we should care for each other even if we are not family, my close family teaching me to be kind towards others, and to not be disrespectful, and strangers who have been rude to me when walking down the street, giving me a rougher edge to handle myself in life.

2 examples I can think of are when

1. One time, I was sitting on my driveway selling lemonade, when some guy asked for some 25 cent lemonade and said "This tastes like garbage." From that very moment, I had gained a sense of self-respect, defending me and my lemonade to a reasonable human standard.

2. When one of my friends was crying, I realized that I was there for them, to make them feel better, and too impact their life. They would do the same for me, and being there for someone isn't something that is restricted to being in a blood-born family.

HELP!!
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The setting of "The open window" is in England at Mrs. Sappletons and many lines suggest during Autumn time. This story was also published in the 1900's meaning this must be the time period.

The commentary that the author is making is while it is hard to get away from stress and anxiety you can never really escape reality. While Framton Nuttel out protagonist believed that leaving the city and going to a house far away from his troubles he only found more by being told a frightening story.

The behaviors back then were mainly being polite and opening your door to those in need. Also being kind to those you care about. This would explain why Mrs. Sappleton was willing to allow Framton to come to her house to relax. Women were still in the house cleaning while men did all the work. This explains why Mrs. Sappleton isn't with her husband hunting and why only the men in this story return from hunting.

stating your position on whether or not civil or not civil disobedience can peacefully solve a social injustice
BigorU [14]

I believe that civil disobedience can peacefully solve a social injustice. Great historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi used their own versions of civil disobedience to fight for justice.

Civil disobedience has contributed to better leadership and peaceful co-existence around the world. Dr. Martin Luther Jr. once said that laws can be legal but unjust. While thinking about those words, I realized that disobeying unjust laws can be an effective way of bringing justice to those who deserve it.
