This question is about the article "Choosing a Warning Label for Human DNA"
Answer and Explanation:
The author presents two types of optimists regarding how other planets and other species would receive samples that would promote the existence of human beings on these planets.
One of the optimists says that it would be necessary to inform the "extraterrestrials" that they received our species, that we are highly dangerous, invasive and that we have a strong potential for destruction. This optimist believes that this would place us as great warriors and necessary beings when problems arise.
However, another type of optimist, prefers to show our sense of community, our delicacy, sentimentality and kindness. Showing our hosts that we are complex beings, but capable of loving and being loved.
In view of this reading, we can see that the author fits into the second group of optimists, because he stimulated our most intimate nature, showing that if it is stimulated, it can overcome our negative points.
Answer: Metaphor
Explanation:
A Metaphor helps describe a character or variable by relating it to another character or Variable that is seemly unrelated to it but bears certain characteristics to it for comparison sake.
It essentially says one thing is another so that the original thing can be understood better.
For example, "every family has a black sheep". It is not saying that every family will have a sheep which is black but rather saying that at least one member of each family behaves differently from the rest.
In the above extract from Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run", Squeaky who is Raymond's sister is using a metaphor to describe her brother's penchant for using the curb as a Circus clown uses a rope high in the air.
