Both eventually come to an end or die.
Explanation:
"The Coming Of Night" is a poem written by Linda Pastan. The poem is about how the speaker accepts the inevitability of death. The them of the poem is death.
A simile is a rhetoric device thaat is used to compare two unlike things or objects or ideas.
<u>In the poem, Pastan has compared the ambition with the 'pilot light.' It is important to know that the 'pilot light' is an important instrument to run an appliance. So, by comparing life's ambition with 'pilot light', the poet is making a point that just like the pilot light is vital to run appliances, ambitions are important to run a life. Which means that the poet is conveying a message that a life without an ambition is likely to end just as a 'faulty pilot light' will come to an end</u>.
This comparison helps in the contribution to the central idea oof how life slowly ends without an ambition, just like a faulty pilot light.

Answer:
The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.
Explanation:
Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.
The most prominent theme in the "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is the power of money. When the protagonist, Henry Adams, produces a million-pound note at the "cheap-eating house" and later at the tailor shop, the owners of both of these establishments think he is a wealthy man even though he is dressed in rags. They agree to let Adams pay at a later time, providing him with credit at their stores. Throughout the story, the protagonist receives special treatment and the attention of all classes of people in London without spending any money, simply because of his million-pound note; he is looked upon as a reliable and trustworthy gentleman. Several businessmen even buy stocks in a gold mine based solely on his recommendation.
Another key theme of the story is the protagonist’s transformation from rags to riches. Initially, the protagonist is wandering the streets as a penniless man who is hungry and homeless in a foreign land. However, after receiving the million-pound bank note from the two rich gentlemen, his life turns around and he quickly climbs the ladder of social hierarchy. He procures all the rich comforts and luxuries without actually spending any money and gains popularity among the upper class. He is even able to make some profit based on his reputation alone. After returning the million-pound note to its owners, Henry Adams is left with enough money to live in comfort for the rest of his life. And by the end of the story, he marries the daughter of one of the rich gentlemen who gave him the note.
