1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone". 

2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa. 

3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.

Exercise 1 Circle the number in front of each complex sentence.
melamori03 [73]

"During the Civil War, Douglass wanted it known that the war was a move to abolish slavery." is a complex sentence.

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one or more dependent clauses.

A dependent clause always needs another clause to make sense. In the given sentence, "During the civil war" is a dependent clause and it has no meaning when written alone.

A compound sentence contains two independent clauses. An independent clause is one that has a proper meaning without the other clause.

These independent clauses are joined together using suitable conjunction such as: and, yet, for, so, and, & many more.
