The lines that contain metaphors are:


1)“My thoughts of you are golden coins”


2) “Stamped in the mint of memory”


A metaphor is a literary device that makes an implicit comparison between unrelated items or ideas. Despite of the fact that they seem to differ in many respects, there is a hidden connection between them. It differs from others figures of speech; namely Simile as it refers to an explicit comparison (use of “like” or “as”) that is established between to ideas or items.

In this particular poem, the author says that her thought is a very valuable treasure to her, especially because they are related to a special person to her. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between her thoughts and the treasured golden coins. Then, she continues adding another metaphor. She says that these precious memories will never disappear as they kept in her memory as golden coins are safe and properly stored in a mint.

What is the theme of the story Rogue Wave by Theodore Taylor?
Kruka [31]
The power of a short story, such as “Rogue Wave,” comes from its actions and events. Most stories follow a series of events, also known as the ​plot​. A story centers around the c​ onflict​, the struggle between opposing forces. As the characters struggle to resolve a conflict, the plot builds suspense, the growing tension and excitement felt by the reader. Most plots have five stages:
★ The ​exposition ​introduces the characters and presents the setting and conflict.
★ The​ rising action​ presents complications that intensify.
★ The ​climax ​is the story’s moment of greatest interest - the point where the conflict of resolved.
★ In the ​falling action​, the story begins to draw to a close.
★ The ​resolution ​reveals the final outcome of the conflict.
Often the plot is influenced by the setting, or the time and place of the action. For example, the setting can cause plot complications. In “Rogue Wave,” Sully notes that as evening comes, the fading light could hamper his rescue efforts. To understand the influence of setting on the plot in “Rogue Wave,” find details that tell where and when the events are happening. Use those details to visualize the setting and follow the action.
Exposition:
Sully is outside the capsized boat where there is plenty of light and air. But he wants to get into the boat to free his sister. Scoot is below in the darkness with limited air. She wants to get to the surface. So, the settings separate the two characters, underscoring the external conflict.
Rising Action:
Scoot is in total darkness, so she can’t see what she’s doing or where things are. She has a headache. She finally realizes that the cabin where she is trapped is upside down, which makes her disoriented. Finally, when she tries to open the entry doors, she can’t.
Climax:
Sully is finally giving up hope. Scoot is on her sixth dive. She gives one final push “with all her strength” and the skylight finally opens! Scoot is almost out of breath - about to lose consciousness - but has resolved her conflict.
Falling Action: Resolution:
Sully answers Stevens’s question with just two words:
“rogue wave.” Stevens winces and nods because that is all he needs to hear - a rogue wave is so sudden and destructive, it goes without saying that it causes massive problems.
... Sully and Scoot survive the “Rogue Wave

ANEK [815]

Answer:

This paragraph should be at the beginning of his essay.

Explanation:

It forms a strong introductory paragraph to whatever essay Lukas is trying to write. The first sentence is an icebreaker that puts the reader in awe to understand how running is Luka's life. This sentence cannot fit as a summary or as a body of his essay. The content of this paragraph can compel a reader to just keep reading.

Read a list of the headings from "Physicians and Surgeons.”
elixir [45]
I believe it would be D. Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations. Education would be about what you need to do to become a physician or surgeon, important qualities would be about what type of person you should be, like strong in terms of seeing blood and not being disturbed, or friendly to make your patients feel better. Training would be about how they practice surgery before operating on a real person. So therefore it would be D. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine)
