English

Dovator [93]3 years ago

"Without work, I was empty as a coke bottle." is the simile used to describe Manny's relation with work.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Simile is a literary device that is used to make comparison of one thing with the other. Unlike metaphor, it does not make direct comparisons. It makes comparisons with the use of words like "as" and "like" of one thing with the other.

In the lesson "Parrot in the oven", the relationship of Manny has been described with work using a simile. In this he said that without work, he was empty as a coke bottle. This showed that he really loved to work and without work he thought that there is no worth of the person.

Which excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2" would most likely cause reader uncertainty?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled, "Object Lesson," which was written by<em> Ellery Queen (a pseudonym). </em>

The story centers on the character of Ellery, as he was called by Miss Carpenter to have a speech in class regarding<em> "Notorious Criminals I Have Known." </em>This came about when Miss Carpenter knew that three of his students in class were responsible for a juvenile crime she witnessed. However, on the day of the speech, Miss Carpenter noticed that <u>someone stole her $7 inside her envelop.</u>

As Ellery was searching the different places where the suspect might have placed the $7, "<em>Louise Carpenter was gripping a desk, her knuckles white." </em>This causes uncertainty on the reader because<u> it doesn't give a clear sign whether the money will be found or not</u>.

Louise Carpenter's action shows that she is <em>"anticipating to be let down."</em> This means that she, somehow, figured out that <u>Ellery won't be able to find the suspect and money because they only have a few minutes left</u> <em>(4 and 1/2 minutes, to be exact)</em>.<em> </em>
