There are a couple ways in which we can take efforts to conserve the precious resource of water in our homes. First of all, we can monitor how much water we use in a day by keeping track of how long we take showers, if we leave water running in the sink, how often we flush toilets, or the amount of dishwashing or laundry we do. Understanding when we are using water is the first step as it will help us recognize when we are using what many of us take for granted. There are water saving shower heads, updated toilet pumps that require less water when flushing, conservative washing machines and dishwashers, and water-saving taps. However, there are ways aside from replacing appliances. One very effective method is just to increase how conscious you are of when and how much water you use. Setting limits to how long you take showers, or how you wash dishes (for example a basin in a sink that you fill once for all your dishes uses much less water than a dishwasher), can be effective. Notice when you brush your teeth if you leave the water on the tap running. When you water plants do you spray them directly with a hose, or fill a container to water them with a regulated amount of water? Do you have a sprinkler system that could be managed more efficiently?
In other words, figure out your biggest water-wasters, and try not to take that water for granted.

c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
