The figurative language used is Personification. This is Personification because darkness was given human qualities. The word 'darkness' symbolizes depression or emotional instability. 'Slumber summons me to play'  means that sleep is the only option to escape from reality and forgetting about responsibilities. The reader feels the emotion from this because it makes the reader imagine what it's like.

The murderer, he'll come into your house
Quiet as a mouse.

You jump out ur window,
Ready to escape
But there's one thing you can't forget
And that is your cape!

Answer:

The controversy of women getting paid less than men was because people thought that women IS NOT the same as men. In the past, women were looked at as property or some fragile little thing that ONLY has the job of carrying children in the family and take care of the house. Also this depends on what timeline you are looking at, but women would often have less education compared to men simply because of their gender. Women are expected to be "proper" whereas men "manly." Now in the present, some men still have that traditional thoughts like how women can not be as great as men, which is why they would be payed less.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

imitation of

Explanation:

According to the sentences from paragraph 3 of “The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain, the narrator talks about how a so-called high class Negro still longs to be like the white man, abandoning his racial identity.

The words that best replace the underlined word "aping to" to retain the same meaning is "imitation of".

This is because, the meaning of the word "aping" means to copy someone or something in a weird, unusual way.
