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."

How is film a universally understood language?<br><br><br><br>please help
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Film is a universally understood language because, like reading, it brings the viewer to a new world. Throughout different genres of films you can find different forms of inspiration. A good musical will almost always make you want to sing. A touching romance will make you appreciate your partner more, or make you long for a true love of your own. A war movie can show you the brutalities of battle and show you the sacrifices people make for a cause. Horror movies make you afraid and teen culture shows, no matter how cheesy, always end up making you laugh. Film inspires because it connects to our emotions. Fear, love, sadness, anger, joy, sacrifice, and disgust. Emotions are felt by everyone, everywhere. That is how film connects us, through how we feel and that is how film is understood b everyone, everywhere.
