The use of figurative language affects the meaning of the poem for the idea that the author wants to transmit.

For instance, "...stand along the railroad tracks wide-eyed...". The figurative language uses imagery for the reader can visualize the way the sunflower is widely open, facing the sun.

"...stretching their long necks..." uses a metaphor that serves to compare long stems with the way people turns its head to see something attractive but they can't see it well.

Figurative language uses figures of speech to be more accurate and persuasive. It uses resources like allusions, similes, imageries, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and metaphors.

The poem "Sunflowers" was written by Beverly McLougland.

They make the message of the song direct and purposeful.

The short lines and repetition in the song make the message very direct. It is clear that the speaker of the poem wants his people to be let go. If the lines were long and very detailed, the listener would need to spend more effort to discern the singers message. The shortened lines give the song more power and emphasize the speaker's message.

She appreciates art, music, and crafts.

Explanation:

In the book <em>A Smart Cookie</em>, we have a girl Esperanza who describes a lot her mother, her wishes, activities, dreams, problems and so on. Her mother is a woman who regrets a lot leaving school just because she had no nice clothes and she wants that Esperanza choose the right path and learn from her mistakes. In this short excerpt, we see the part where Esperanza tells us about quality things that her mother does and enjoys. She draws, she is a fan of ballet, theater, opera and singing.

Answer:

Social Emotional Learning

Social Emotional Learning has started to make major headlines.  It is starting to become standard in schools all across the United States.  

Here is a link from one organization, that gives an example of some cities where it is taking place: https://casel.org/wallace-sel-districts/

Social Emotional learning is the much-debated concept of education including a child's emotional and mental status, instead of only their knowledge of something.  It is very much associated with Competency based learning.

It will definitely impact the world now and in the future because some schools are starting to redefine what education means, and what the role of a school is.  This issue is going to continue to become a more widespread topic of debate in the near future.
