Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you are referring to the passage found in the book "Collections Close Reader: Grade 8."
<u>Explanation:</u>
Remember, a <u>simile</u> is a literary device that compares two things that exactly aren't similar or alike as though they were, in other to give a good description.
For a simile about the narrator: one good example is when read;
<em>"</em><em><u>Chatter like a monkey</u></em><em> when I command adult attention."</em> Here the author uses the expression "Chatterlike a monkey" to depict the talkative nature of the narrator when given attention, just as how a monkey makes noise.
For a simile about the mother: one good example is when read;
<em>"She rises </em><em><u>against the sun like a skyscraper,</u></em><em> and when I draw her in my notebook, she takes up the entire page." </em>The mother's bold and courageous nature is compared to the height of a<em><u> skyscraper.</u></em>
This look hard, good luck on it.
Flamenco is a more modern dance originated in Spain in 1774 ad I don’t know about the flamenco festival in Albuquerque i have never heard of it and yes, i would probably go if i had the chance.
