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>

PLEASE HELP: Prepare for an 3 paragraph essay about whether punishing various forms of free speech is ultimately negative or pos
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

My opinion in punishing any form of free speech is something negative because it mutilates people's opinion and a country that does not know the needs of their people will not be a country capable of fulfilling those needs. Evidence of this is the situation in North Korea.  International organizations that fight for human rights have repeatedly denounced the lack of freedom of expression in the Asian country.  

In particular, North Koreans and tourists visiting the country are prohibited from criticizing or insulting former leaders, Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, as well as Kim Jong-un, or the state's political system. For example, foreigners, as well as North Korean citizens, should bow and deposit flowers in front of the monuments of the deceased leaders to pay tribute to them.  

As a consequence of it, something visible, is the relationship that North Korea keeps with the rest of the world: Tourism in North Korea is organized by the state agency "Korea International Travel Company" and it is highly controlled by the North Korean government. Due to the traditional isolation of the country, it is not a widely visited international destination and only about 1,500 Western visitors usually visit it per year. Being isolated in times of globalization is a negative aspect for healthy and diverse human development, which is why punishing freedom of speech is something negative.
