Serena was excited about the pool party she was hosting that afternoon. She was so glad that when her family had moved six month

s ago, her parents had finally agreed to buy this house. They hadn’t wanted a pool, but Serena had finally convinced them by promising to do all the work.
For a while, she had. She learned to run the pump and filter and to test the pool water for pH range and chlorine levels. Every day, she skimmed bugs and leaves out of the water. Once a week, she scrubbed the walls with a pool brush and cleaner. Lately, however, she’d been so busy with schoolwork and babysitting that she’d neglected her pool duties.



Serena grabbed the skimmer basket in preparation for cleaning the pool. Then she froze. She immediately noticed that the water looked cloudy. But when she looked more closely, there were large greenish patches here and there. Serena knew what that meant. Algae was growing rapidly. No one would be swimming in the pool today.



Disappointed in herself, Serena slogged back into the house. She had a lot to do: confess to her parents, give her friends the bad news, and start researching how to get rid of algae.

Write a poem on the perspective of rainsford from the story the most dangerous game
Step2247 [10]

I'm not quite sure what kind of poem you are looking for but I hope this helps:

Running

Running for my life

Hiding

I hide from the hunter

Or the last place I'll be

Is six feet under

Just like all the others

But then I would lose

Lose the game

The Most Dangerous Game

Of man hunting man

Instincts

My instincts are quick

A trap meant for me

Is the last thing his dog sees

The waves engulf me

But not for long

I swim around to a new shore

And don't bother knocking at his door

By means of challenge

I struggle and win

My name is Rainsford

And I beat Zaroff at his own game

The Most Dangerous Game

posledela

The excerpt from Homer’s Iliad which contains an epic simile is:

“As wasps, provoked by children in their play,

Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,

In swarms, the guiltless engage,

Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveler”

It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them.
