Anna007 [38]

The jaguar had begged the king forgiveness for the way he acted. He was scared for a severe punishment since he had forgotten to do his duties because he fell asleep.When the jaguar came to the king he was to scared to tell him that he had a dream that gave him a wish, but he told the king that he had a dream.The king turned and looked to the jaguar and he chuckled. The king told him to tell him about what he had dreamed about when he slept.The jaguar told the king that in his dream he was going to marry a beautiful princess with baby blue eyes. He dropped to his knees and begged the king to arrange a marriage for the jaguar and a princess.The king's facial expression turned sour and he warned the jaguar to be careful with what he says because a crazy demand would anger him. The jaguar went silent and thought to himself. The king then told the jaguar that it is not best to ask or even demand something just because he had a dream about it. Such a demand would be ridiculed and make the jaguar look like an idiot.The jaguar continued to stay quiet and after a long time spent in thought he had an idea. He looked back at the king and he said," If we can't make a wish just because we had dreamed about it, then how come man can decide to slaughter animals and life just because they dreamed about eating their flesh or because they hold a grudge towards them.The argument that the king heard from the jaguar hit him and he too was surprised. He told the jaguar that he respects his argument and that he will take his idea into consideration but as for his wish it was denied. He made a law that would prevent animals from having contact with any humans in the wilderness as well as the world. Animals were pulled away from human homes, farms, and facilities to keep them altogether. Although some animals do not share the same views on this subject because some animals have actually befriended humans as pets. Animals protested against this decision and others embraced this new law because they feel it would secure them and their children. The community in the wilderness was divided, torn, and angry. The animals who embraced the decision felt like the opposers were traitors to them and had turned their back on their fellow animals. The animals who opposed the decision decided to form a group to further protest this unjustified decision and elected the wise owl to be their leader due to his ability to convince others about views he sees but they may not be able to see. The owl scheduled a meeting with the king and they both discussed their arguments but the owl told the king of the animals who had befriended the humans and were apart of their families. The king ignored these comments believing his position justified his ruling and the owl was thrown in a prison cell for opposing him and his authority.

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is defined as "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This means that saying "She *IS* a typing machine" is a metaphor because it is simply not literally possible. The word "is" will be your hint that a sentence like this is a metaphor and not a simile. A simile usually has the keyword "like" in the sentence (For example: She was *like* a typing machine."

The main difference is that a metaphor claims that two things are the same while a simile claims two things are similar (you can remember this by the "simil" in both of these words!).
