Read the paragraph. The moment that Jack learned he was going to go to soccer camp, time began to move as slowly as a snail. He

had been saving all year to be able to go to camp. His parents were proud of his hard work, so they surprised him by helping him pay for camp and completing the registration. Six more long weeks to go! All Jack could think about was camp, and it made each day seem like a week. To take his mind off things, he decided to put more time into practicing. When it was time to go, he would be ready! What is the meaning of the simile in the paragraph?

Answer: That time goes by very slow, like a snail.

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used to compare something with a different thing. They are often used by writers to make a text more descriptive and entertaining.

Similes commonly follow the same format so they’re easy to identify in a sentence.

There are two types of simile:  

1. Those that use the word ‘as’. Such is the case in this example.

2. Those that use the word ‘like’.

I need one ode poem and one free verse poem <br><br> ASAP!!
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Ode:

On ear and ear two noises too old to end

    Trench—right, the tide that ramps against the shore;

    With a flood or a fall, low lull-off or all roar,

Frequenting there while moon shall wear and wend.

Left hand, off land, I hear the lark ascend,

    His rash-fresh re-winded new-skeinèd score

    In crisps of curl off wild winch whirl, and pour

And pelt music, till none’s to spill nor spend.

How these two shame this shallow and frail town!

    How ring right out our sordid turbid time,

Being pure! We, life’s pride and cared-for crown,

    Have lost that cheer and charm of earth’s past prime:

Our make and making break, are breaking, down

    To man’s last dust, drain fast towards man’s first slime.

Free Verse:

After the Sea-Ship-after the whistling winds;

After the white-gray sails, taut to their spars and ropes,

Below, a myriad, myriad waves, hastening, lifting up their necks,

Tending in ceaseless flow toward the track of the ship:

Waves of the ocean, bubbling and gurgling, blithely prying,

Waves, undulating waves-liquid, uneven, emulous waves,

Toward that whirling current, laughing and buoyant, with curves,

Where the great Vessel, sailing and tacking, displaced the surface;

1. What was John Smith's purpose for writing and publishing his journals describing Virginia
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Title page from The Generall Historie of Virginia, New-England, and the Summer Isles: with the names of the Adventurers, Planters, and Governours, written by “Captaine John Smith, Sometymes Governour in Those Countryes & Admirall of New England.”

Captain John Smith's journals offer a compelling eyewitness view of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608. They describe his adventures in vivid detail, recounting where he went, what he saw and the people he met. There are successes and conflicts, wonder and worry, smooth sailing and storms, hospitality and hostility, and near starvation. His journals, published as a book in 1612, introduced this part of the world to the English for the first time and triggered a wave of colonization. The journals let people today see the Chesapeake as it was four centuries ago.

Captain John Smith's Letter (1608)

John Smith's first writings about Jamestown were sent to England on a supply ship, along with an early map, even before his landmark voyages. This account was published as A True Relation of Such Occurrences and Accidents of Noate As Hath Happened in Virginia.

Journals of Smith's Voyages

Captain Smith and several of the gentlemen on his crew kept notes on nature, geography, people, and events during their voyages. These Formed the basis of his future books about the Chesapeake. Read the journals. I think that would help u
