Well While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.

Sever21 [200]

Hello!

A hero can be defined as a person who puts their life on the line to save others. In The Odyssey, Ulysses takes some of his men into the cave where they later find is occupied by a one-eyed cyclops. After a confrontation in which two of his men are killed Ulysses makes a plan to kill Polyphemus. This shows his heroic characteristics. He needed to save his people. They end up shoving a hot log through his eye, and escape, after getting the cyclops drunk. As they are exiting the cave, Ulysses goes last. This shows that he put himself after all of his men to ensure their safety.

Can someone dumb the question down for me I don't get it......ill do anything for an answer​
tatyana61 [14]

So first it is asking you to basically tell what you think the “covenant” is. While explaining the covenant, make sure to add in there what God’s expectations were for the Israelites who where apart of the covenant. As well as if they followed or didn’t follow those expectations, what God did for/to them. Make sure to add verses and lines to help explain it more and give proof of your words! Hope it helps!

expeople1 [14]
I think it's not valid because it doesn't say everything with six legs is an insect.  As it is, the banquet table and insects just share a common trait.  So, I would add that "Everything with six legs is an insect" before claiming that "the banquet table is an insect".
