simile

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. There are actually two similes in this line. The first is the comparison of the speaker's body to a harp. The second comparison is the woman's words to a harpist's fingers.

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Personification is giving a non-human thing human-like traits. A motif is a dominant idea in a work of literature.

What can readers predict about Alice?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

She will have an active imagination.

Explanation:

Lewis Carroll's children's novel "Through the Looking Glass," tells the story of one young girl named Alice and her adventures. The story delves into the adventures of Alice after she fell into a looking glass and the numerous characters she encountered.

As given in the excerpt, Alice is playing chess with <em>"Kitty"</em>. Taking the game seriously, she even reprimanded the cat for smiling. She also described how the <em>"nasty Knight [. . .] came wiggling down among [her] pieces."</em> This description of the chess piece as coming alive <u>shows her active imagination.</u>

what the best teachers to do get students to want to learn and try really hard. make a list. no links pls​
worty [1.4K]

1. Tell them what's going to happen in the future, basic step-by-step instructions. For example, tell them to do good in Science, so they can get Earth Science next year.

2. Make a deal with them. For example, be like if you get your work done faster, then we will play a game at the end.

3. I think the most important thing for a teacher to do is to make their fun, so the students want to learn more, and in a fun way.

4. Teachers can set high expectations, this pushes students to do better, and actually feel like they can do it or make it.

5. If a teacher has a classroom routine, that makes it even easier, since the students already know what to do, then they will just get it done with.
