Sample Response:

  The author uses metaphor to make it seem like he is really creating lightning. The positive language makes the experience seem fun and exciting.

Answer:

After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!

the keel is the part of the ship that provides stability. what is whitman referring to with the phrase the steady keel
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The keen is a part of the boat that is used to support the boat, as in the poem the keen is used as a symbol of a strong nation.

Explanation:

The first use of the keel represents stability that the boat needs to have on the water. The other use of keel is as a synecdoche.  

In Witman’s poem, the steady keel is a symbol of a strong and stable nation, that although has to pass many obstacles it maintains itself strong. It represents the whole boat that carries the nation on its deck.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

I believe that the difference is that space is like when you have a desk and there is still enough volume to place something inside and outer space is the universe (outside the Earth's atmosphere , that is the area where there are stars planets etc...)
