Read the excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s All Rivers Run to the Sea. It is unbelievable how fast people adapt. It hurts to admit it, b

ut within hours of first breathing the cattle car’s nauseating air, we began to feel at home. ‘Home’ was the edge of the wooden plank I sat on as I dreamed of the Jewish exiles of antiquity and the Middle Ages. More curious than afraid, I thought of myself as their brother. Mixed into my sadness there was undeniable excitement, for we were living a historic event, a historic adventure. Which best describes the author at this point in his life?

Answer:  At this point, he is curious and excited.

Explanation:  While there is sadness (as he is coming from a time that was the worst in his life), he can't help but be a little excited at what is to come.  This is new hope, new adventure, new life.  While he has adapted quickly to his surroundings, he can't help but wonder what is yet to come.

What two types of figurative language are in this passage? But now fears came swarming about my head like the black flying ants
r-ruslan [8.4K]
The two types of figurative language that are demonstrated in this text are personification and simile.

When the author states that the “fears came swarming,” it personifies the feeling/emotion by giving it the ability to swarm, as a living creature would, rather than exist usually as an idea. The personification is then further elaborated on by a simile with “swarming about my head like the black flying ants after a storm.” The simile is identified with the use of the word “like” to compare two things or ideas, in this case: fear and black flying ants. The simile compares the effects of the speaker’s fear to the swarming of black flying ants to show how the speaker’s fear is surrounding them entirely. These instances of figurative language create a unique picture in the reader’s mind that allows them to picture the overwhelming nature of the speaker’s fear, adding understanding and depth to the text, while also making the writing more engaging to the reader.

I hope this helps! :)

How can we protect those we love ??? digan mepor fa
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Over the weekend, I was shocked to hear that my next door neighbour, who has three adorable children, lost her husband in a freak accident.

As someone who is a parent and has also experienced loss, I empathized with her and was relieved to hear that she had security against the loss of her husband's income.

But not everybody is so lucky.

Did you know that in America over 58% of families would not be able to cover their monthly expenses just a few months after a loved one passed away?

It is often only those life-changing events like the death of a loved one – or the birth of a little one – that cause people to think about their own mortality. People tend to think that what is unlikely to happen will not, and as a result, they expose their family to the hit of a lost income forever.

Explanation:

The consequence is that most people have what we at Swiss Re call a "protection gap" – the term used to describe the difference between the financial means one has and one needs – and it primarily affects the middle classes (those earning between $30,000 and $120,000 per annum). This gap has taken on gigantic proportions.  In the US alone, the population mortality protection gap stands at USD 21 trillion, which works out to approximately 400k USD per household. In Europe, the figure is almost as large (USD 17 trillion).   The protection gap exists because people lack awareness about both the gap itself and ways to rectify it.
