Answer:
Imagery in literature refers to the use of words and analogy that appeals to the five senses.
Starting with Paragraph 7, the narrator states that after her lofty dreams of America, the fact that she needs to work to pay for her next meal and rent brought her back to reality...in her own words she states <em>"I had to put my feet down on earth"</em>
Another example of imagery used can be found in paragraph 1. She calls out to America for understanding as there are many immigrants who were beating out their heart at its gates. In other words, there are many immigrants who seek to enter into America. She speaks as though America were a living being.
The act of immigration is typified by the beating of hearts at America's gates.
In paragraph 5 she speaks of <em>hidden sap of centuries that would find release -colours that never saw light. </em>
The last part of that sentence is a good use of imagery as colour and light are very visual.
Cheers.

Answer:
Both eventually come to an end or die.
Explanation:
"The Coming Of Night" is a poem written by Linda Pastan. The poem is about how the speaker accepts the inevitability of death. The them of the poem is death.
A simile is a rhetoric device thaat is used to compare two unlike things or objects or ideas.
<u>In the poem, Pastan has compared the ambition with the 'pilot light.' It is important to know that the 'pilot light' is an important instrument to run an appliance. So, by comparing life's ambition with 'pilot light', the poet is making a point that just like the pilot light is vital to run appliances, ambitions are important to run a life. Which means that the poet is conveying a message that a life without an ambition is likely to end just as a 'faulty pilot light' will come to an end</u>.
This comparison helps in the contribution to the central idea oof how life slowly ends without an ambition, just like a faulty pilot light.
