Answer:

these are all figures of speech used in american English. A metaphor and simile are comparisons. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". A simile is a comparison using the words "like" or  "as". A hyperbole is an exaggeration or make something seem more outrageous than it actually is. Personification is when you as the writer give non living object personal feelings or actions. hope that helps!   :)

Explanation:

Examples:

Metaphor: My dog is a pig

Simile: my son eats like a wild animal  

Hyperbole: My dog flew out the window at my grandma's house

Personification: The trees were swaying to the music

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Number 14 Ajax Street,

New Jersey.

September 10, 2020.

Hey man, how are you doing?

Hope you've finally learned how to play that new video game I sent for you.

Well, remember I told you about a prize giving ceremony I was going to attend in my school? Yes, that one. I was surprised when I won two prizes. One for being well behaved and the other for being the neatest, I wasn't expecting either because I don't think I'm the neatest or best behaved, I just try to avoid trouble and look decent.

You can imagine my shock when I heard my name where I was sitting and all eyes were on me. I walked unsteadily to collect the prize and it was the longest twenty seconds of my life. I was proud of the awards though.

When I get back to town, I'll give you more details. Goodbye, for now.

Your friend,

Michael

Depression doesn’t mix well with darkness and laying in bed but it’s all I want to do I hate this world I don’t want to be so de
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Perhaps it’s safe to say that most people want to be happy. They want to enjoy being here in this big, crazy, confusing world. But too many people struggle with being truly happy. They can’t seem to find happiness in life. To them, it is something that doesn’t just come naturally. Fortunately, there are plenty of strategies people can use to create happiness, or at least strive for it. It really depends on one’s desire always to feel joy, to feel gratitude even when it is difficult to find, to have the right people by the side, and an exciting job – or at least a hobby – that they feel good about doing, that somehow brings meaning, direction, and purpose into their lives. Happiness doesn’t happen out of anywhere – it has to be worked on; it has to be produced, created, discovered, built from the ground up. And it has to be a decision in one’s mind: the decision to be happy. The procedure is quite simple, believe it or not. One must have a conviction to be happy no matter what trouble life throws at them. Sometimes, life can undoubtedly disrupt a person’s happiness, getting in the way of them enjoying every day of it, with all the countless and never-ending mishaps and suffering. Happiness is a special feeling, something that comes to those who expect it and, therefore, deserve it. Having gratitude – the quality of being thankful; a readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness – is another way people of all cultures cultivate happiness. Instead of focusing their mental and spiritual energy on negative things, like bills, financial problems, health issues, happy people focus on being alive and not decrepit, having people to love and support them, waking up in the morning, having a purpose of pursuing, being able to breathe and think and eat and pray and love. They are grateful for anything and everything. Happy people make gratitude a daily habit, even a ritual.

Explanation: I really hope your day gets better think about the times that have made you happy. Go and teat yourself to something special BECAUSE  YOU DESERVE IT!!

What does Odysseus do on the island of Cicones that best shows the trait of leadership?
Scilla [17]

When Odysseus and his men land on the islands and search for goods, then, he commands the men to return quickly showing that he was a good leader. Thus, option B is correct.

<h3>Who was Odysseus?</h3>

Odysseus was the hero of Homer's poem and the King of Ithaca. He was a great king who fought many battles and was a cunning man with a brilliant mind.

His leadership qualities are seen when he commands his men to return back to the ship so they can sail swiftly and safely when they were plundering the island for the goods.

Therefore, option b. the commanding tone of Odysseus shows the leadership qualities.
