Watching the others, I knew I was in trouble

Answer:
Let's look at this sentence first since it's the most simple one:
"Does it stink like rotten meat?"
Explanation:
Step one (green):
First off, this is a simile. The "like" isn't the simile itself but just a key that is helpful for finding the simile.
Similes are things like "This song is like my favorite album's music." The WHOLE sentence is the simile.
Now, hopefully you've got that :)
Step two (yellow):
For this, we are looking at what is being compared. For this case "it" and "rotten meat" are being compared.
Again looking at "This song is like my favorite album's music." The "song" and "music" are being compared.
Let's look at another one in this assignment -
"Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?"
For this case, "it" and "raisin" are being compared.
Make sense?
Step three (blue):
Let's look at: "Does it stink like rotten meat?"
What is the action verb. Well by looking at this none of them are verbs EXCEPT stink. Some might say "he's stinking really bad today." That is an action VERB. Hope that helps :)

Answer: Mary's pregnancy makes it all the more shocking that her husband is planning to leave her. She is six months pregnant—very far along for him to decide to bail out of the marriage. Further, the coldness with which her husband delivers the news must also be shocking. He says to her:
But there needn’t really be any fuss. I hope not anyway. It wouldn’t be very good for my job. She loved her husband up until this point, looking forward to his coming home from work as her "blissful" time. She liked being with him and even enjoyed the way he sat in his chair.
When she finds out he is divorcing her, her initial response is disbelief and denial. She then kills him quickly with the frozen lamb, not even thinking about what she is doing until after he is dead.
Her knowledge of having a child to protect and her desire that it not be orphaned then influences Mary to cover up her crime.

Porphyria's Lover is a dramatic monologue that tells us the speaker's thoughts.
There is no conflict resolution: the poem ends with Porphyria dead by her lover's hand. No one has come upon them by the end of the poem and he has not been punished. What happens after this scene ends is unresolved.
There is no dialogue, either. The speaker of the poem tells us that Porphyria "calls" the speaker, but he does not relate her exact words. There is no dialogue in the poem.
Finally, there are no formal stage directions. The speaker does describe several actions happening during the poem -- as when the speaker tells us he strangles Porphyria with her hair -- but we do not have formal stage directions as one would get in a play.
