You have not informed which Mark Twain story you are referring to, which makes it impossible to answer your question. However I can help you by showing what a simile is and what its effect is within a story.

A simile is a figure of speech that has the ability to compare two objects, beings or situations, which are very different from each other, but which have a certain similarity that allows this comparison to be made. In other words, we can say that the simile is a comparison of different but analogous elements.

Within a text, the simile is used to extend a meaning and better explain an argument, making the comparison so that the meaning of something is easily perceived and established.

An example of this can be seen in the following sentence, which was written by Mark Twain: "Dan'l give a heave, and hysted up his shoulders so like a Frenchman, but it wan's no use he couldn't budge; he was planted as solid as an anvil, and he couldn't no more stir than if he was anchored out."

Malcolmx:How does the state Welfare humiliate and dehumanize the
yan [13]

Answer:

The Welfare people made constant visits to the family home and look at them as if they are inferior to them. They also present Mrs. Little of being insane and admitted to a psychiatric hospital.

Explanation:

"The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Malcolm X and Alex Haley was a book that details the life of Malcolm Little from his childhood till his later years. The book became one of the most read and the most sought non-fictional book of all times.

Even though it was a product of Haley's interview with Malcolm, the book was directly addressed to the readers making it easily relatable to them. In chapter I of the book, Malcolm mentions one instance when the State Welfare people used to visit their home. He remembered how they looked at them "<em>in a way that had about it the feeling-at least  for me-that we were not people. In their eyesight we were just _things_, that was all</em>". He also stated "<em>acted as if they owned us, as if we were their  private property</em>."

After their mother, he became the target of the Welfare people due to his stealing. They also reported to the government that their mother Mrs. Little "<em>was losing their mind</em>". All of these acts by the Welfare people made their life miserable.

The State does not continue to do so as most of the Welfare organisations/ people are more sympathetic to the cause of the welfare of the people.
