Explanation:

Without knowing further details of the passage or book, we can only guess. With that being said, the author may have used the simile to describe how as the night progresses, it gets darker, as if the security blanket was covering the area.

Maybe something like this. Good luck.

Cheers.

Answer:

Beacause the author is trying to describe how night time is really like, a pitch black secrity blanket is very dark compared to the night time. So the author is comparing both of them to the same topic.

Hope it helps you out

In 1872, Susan B. Anthony was arrested for voting in the Presidential election because it was illegal for a woman to vote.

Answer:

I think it is okay to break the law, but only if you, yourself truly believe that it is okay. When you believe in something so strongly and genuinely believe that what you are doing is right then it is right. Others may perceive your choice of judgment as wrong but in the end, I believe that it is you who decides if you are right or not. Susan B. Anthony's case is a great example of this, she truly believed that she deserved the right to vote, even though others frowned upon it, it may have seemed wrong at the time but to her, she knew that she was in the right. In the end, Susan B. Anthony became an inspiration to women by fighting for what she believed in and proving that maybe sometimes some laws are meant to be broken as time changes

why did the black power movement eventually become more prominent in the 1970s than the peaceful civil rights movement

tester [92]

it became more prominent because the black power movement technically started the peaceful civil rights movement. Americans noticed that it wasn’t just the African Americans that needed independence, but other ethnicities (bringing peace to all)
