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

if voting doesn't matter for the average person, why do so many of the powerful people in charge try so hard to keep certain peo
notka56 [123]

Answer:

I think, after this election especially, voting is actually beginning to matter for more people. I think our population is (hopefully) beginning to realize that they <em>can </em>have an affect on who their leader is. A reason a powerful person may not necessarily want the average citizen to know this is because they want to stay in power. If we don't know we can make a difference, we can't hurt their power. A horrible way of thinking, but unfortunately the way many power-craving people behave.

Answer:

C. Details about the modern reconstruction, named Shakespeare's Globe, which opened in 1997

Explanation:

An important point about the history of the Globe theater, which must be added in its text is the reopening of it in 1997, after it was closed by the Puritans in 1642 during the English civil war, because they believed that the theater was something diabolical and that the people of God. The reopening was an important moment for a historical construction and with a great weight in the history of England.
