Neither, a metaphor would be like "I'm so hungry that I could probably eat an elephant," while a simile would have 'like' or 'as' to describe something.

The correct answer is neither. The sentence "We shall step upon white down" is neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Similes and metaphors are figures of speech mainly used in literature to provide a special effect to a piece of writing. <u>Both similes and metaphors are based on comparisons</u>; however, there are differences between them. A simile compares things using the words "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: "She was as white as snow". On the other hand, a metaphor states a comparison in a direct way using the verb "be". "Her eyes are a poem" is an example of metaphor. In that way<u>, the sentence "We shall step upon white down" does not establish a simile nor a metaphor because it does not include a comparison between two things</u>.

In the context of this text, how does love emerge? How does this story inform your understanding of love? Use evidence from this
xxMikexx [17]

I guess it emerges when people go out with each other. Best friends can become a boy friend or girlf riend relationship. The only way to succeed in love is when you actually love the person you love because of her characteristics, not her looks or fame.

People may be mean at first but it's most likely something happened to them. Then there's lust. Lust is when two people want each other but don't love each other. True love is only when you and your love been thru a lot with each other and are still together.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

"Her situation demanded that she grow up before she should have."

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "Pakistan's Malala" the author details how living in the Swat Valley under the rule of the Taliban greatly affected everyone especially Malala. And with the atmosphere, she also had to get accustomed to whatever is being brought up by the rulers.

The given excerpt reveals how she was made to grow up despite her young age. She wasn't a child with an <em>"idealist activist attitude"</em>, being merely a 10/11-year-old girl. But her love of books and studies were always there. The statement <em>"her situation demanded she grow up before she should have" </em>clearly reflects how she was affected by the Taliban's presence in her Swat Valley village.
