English

Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):

King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither, that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia."  </em>

Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed  </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>

Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.

Read the beginning of Denise's personal narrative.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Option 2.) Denise needs to include herself as a character in the narrative.

Explanation:

Why? Because if this is a personal narrative, you always have to include yourself. If you don't include yourself in a personal narrative... then it's not a personal narrative, but in the first statement, it says "Read the beginning of Denise's <u>personal narrative</u>." So, we now know why Option 2 is the best answer. I hope this helps and leave a comment if it does!
