se to make this comparison.
What is the Sun?
By Wes Magee
The Sun is an orange dinghy
sailing across a calm sea

It is a gold coin dropped
down a drain in Heaven

It is a red thumb-print
on a sheet of pale blue paper.

"It is a gold coin dropped

down a drain in Heaven"

The comparison means that it's sort of like a golden coin that someone had dropped down a sink drain on an accident, but someone dropped it down the drain in heaven and it has now landed in the sky of the Earth.

I think the author chose to make this comparison because the sun is yellow and it is sort of a golden color and it is sort of common for things to be dropped down the drain. Therefore, it is like a golden coin going down the drain of heaven and into the sky.

Read the sentence below, and answer the question that follows.
REY [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>It is always useful to read sentence twice. It removes the confusion and doubt of your first read. Reading multiple times clearly clarifies the sentence. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

No there are no any words that I do not know in the sentence. The sentence describes about the difference between the English language and French language.

It focuses in the difference of the syntax of two languages. Even the grammar differs in between two languages. The correct grammar in on language may not be correct in another one.
