A simile is a figure of speech that is used to explicitly compare two elements of a different kind. Within this excerpt, the explicit comparison is:

<em>his brown skin hung in strips </em>

<u><em>like ancient wallpaper,</em></u><em>  </em>

<em>and its pattern of darker brown </em>

<u><em>was like wallpaper:</em></u>

Therefore, the statement that best describes the effect of simile on the overall meaning in this excerpt is C. It compares the fish's skin to wallpaper to support the image of a shabby but admirable fish because it conveys the image of a ragged, damaged but <em>tremendous</em> fish.

€) 5. How do Kim's experiences and his feelings about
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Kim's experiences caused him to have negative feelings about himself and his culture. This makes the reader understand why it was difficult for Kim to build his identity, which he is so attached to today.

Explanation:

This question is about "Hello, My Name Is ____" by Jason Kim. In this work Kim shows how his experiences as an Asian American made him ashamed of his ancestry and felt culturally isolated, for several years. Kim tells how desperately he wished he were not Asian and how it took a long time and a long journey of self-knowledge and self-acceptance for him to be able to build the identity he has today and that makes him so comfortable with himself, with his culture and with its positioning around race and descendants.

She should have died hereafter; There would have been a time for such a word. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Signifying <u>nothing</u>.

Explanation:

These lines are a quote from the tragedy play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare. Taken from Act V scene v, these words are said by Macbeth after he hears of the death of his wife, lady Macbeth.

Macbeth at first seemed to be shaken with the news brought by Seyton that "<em>the queen, my lord, is dead</em>." But then, Macbeth began talking of the inevitability of death for everyone. He accepts that "<em>she should have died hereafter</em>", and that "<em>Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player/ That struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ And then is heard no more. It is a tale/ Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury/ Signifying nothing.</em>" This could also be taken as his acceptance of the meaninglessness and the futility of human life, which also indirectly made his act of murdering King Duncan an insignificant act. He is in a way, justifying his murderous acts and seems to imply their insignificance. After all, life is just a shadow cast by a brief candle.
