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

along with what you read in Chapter 12, explain why you think the train ride is particularly difficult for Shmuel to talk about.
FrozenT [24]
When Shmuel recounts his journey on the train, he describes a horrible situation, which was completely different from Bruno's experience on his train ride. Shmuel tells Bruno that the cars were overcrowded to the point that passengers could not breathe. In contrast, Bruno recalls that there were two trains at the station when he left Berlin and naively believes that Shmuel boarded the wrong train. Even though Shmuel tries to explain to Bruno that the train he boarded had no doors, Bruno contradicts Shmuel and does not understand why Shmuel had such a negative experience on the train. Bruno and Shmuel's different perspectives are significant because they depict the contrast between those in authority (Nazis) and those in subjugation (Jews). Since Bruno is a German Nazi, he is treated with respect and enjoys a relatively comfortable train ride. In contrast, the Jewish prisoners, like Shmuel, were subjected to the horrible conditions of the tightly packed cattle cars that took them to concentration camps. Their differing perspectives further illuminates the difference in their backgrounds and situations. Despite Bruno and Shmuel's drastically different circumstances, the two boys become close friends.

What would happen if we stopped shaking hands
liraira [26]

Answer:

If we stopped shaking hands there may be, for an older generation, a sign of a lack of respect (though that can be shown in other ways).

Explanation:

Shaking hands is used as a form of greeting, expressing gratitude, and even used to complete business or diplomatic agreements.  So, it does play an important role is society, but at the same time, I do believe that there are other ways of showing respect, a greeting, or completing agreements.
