English
2 answers:
ikadub [295]4 years ago

Answer:

“because your laughter / will be for my hands / like a fresh sword.”

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of language in which one uses a word or an expression in a sense that is not very common, revealing a relation of similarity between two terms.

In this case, the author of the phrase is establishing a relationship of resemblance between a smile and a sword.  He meant that the smile of his beloved makes him powerful in the same way that a sword would leave.

The sensory details in this excerpt help the reader understand how cold and harsh the weather is. How long food rations can last
kolezko [41]

Hello. This question is incompetent. The full question is:

A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen six months back. In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible.

The sensory details in this excerpt help the reader understand how cold and harsh the weather is. How long food rations can last on the trail. How desperate the dogs are to eat. How poorly treated the horses are.

Answer:

How desperate the dogs are to eat.

Explanation:

The text manages to promote sensory details that show how the dogs were so hungry that they were content to eat anything that could satisfy the overwhelming and desperate hunger they felt. The hunger was so great that the dogs were able to eat extremely hard, frozen, tasteless and nutrient-free strips of leather, because that was more comfortable than the hunger they felt.

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which may leave the answer inaccurate, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

Infdividuals, events and ideas inspire people who are experiencing situations similar to what these elements present. This causes an identification to occur between the individual and what inspires him, allowing for a strong influence, which makes the individual want to act in the way his object of admiration acts or shows as correct.
