Based on the given statement above, I can say that the type of comparison that is being shown is a SIMILE. A simile is a literary technique that compares two unlike objects with the use of the words "like" or "as...as". Apparently, this uses "as...as" in comparing "they" and "bark of a tree". Hope this helps.

<u>"Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree" is an example of which type of comparison</u>?  

- hyperbole

- metaphor

- oxymoron

- simile

<em>The comparison of the author's food to tree bark uses the word "as", making it a </em><em>simile</em><em>. A simile is a type of figurative language that expresses a comparison between two entities/things using comparison words/terms such as "like", "as", "resembles", and "than". Therefore, its meaning is figurative, not literal. The meaning of a simile will always depend upon the context of its use (expresses a figurative meaning that literal words do not).</em>

rewona [7]

Jack Hanna is in favor of raising animals in zoos and aquariums, contrary to the opinion of Dr. Jane Goodall who believes they should be released into the wild.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Jack Hanna says he admires Dr. Jane Goodall's stance and her ability to change her mind when she recognizes that she is wrong.
  • But he disagrees with her position in advocating that animals raised in captivity, in aquariums, and zoos be released into the wild.

That's because, for him, these animals have resources that they would not find in nature, in addition to living in safety and away from the dangers that wildlife offers.

Nostrana [21]

Explain the title why, you reckon?<span>
The title of this short story is a highlight of the moral. This story written by Langston Hughes, narrates of a black man who, like many other in the post-WWII United States which was in the middle of an economic depression, had found himself wondering if money could buy you happiness, and why are rich people not happy?</span>

<span>
</span>

Who is asking the question?<span>
The question is presented by the protagonist, who wonders why rich people are unhappy, despite all the amount of money they have at their disposal. The young man was poor and hungry and decided to go all the way committing a crime just for the chance to buy himself a little bit of happiness. </span>

<span>
</span>

What are they wondering about?<span>
The protagonist is wondering if money could perhaps buy happiness, and if so, why people who have money and power are still unhappy and bored with their lives? He had always believed that money would make life easier (which is still a vastly shared thought) and cannot understand how come people with money are not afraid to lose them. </span>

<span>
</span>

Who are they asking?<span>
The question in the title is perhaps directed to the reader, creating a connection between the story and the real, outside world. But in the story the main character is wondering alone in the streets while asking this question to himself.  </span>

<span>
</span>

Why do they want to know?<span>
The main character is eager to understand whether money can buy happiness, since he has started to doubt it after the encounter with the rich young man who was excited about being robbed, describing the experience as one of the most thrilling experiences of his life. The protagonist cannot comprehend how rich people can still be unhappy and bored despite the immense fortune they have available. </span>
