English

Answer:

As the tired ploughman, spent with stubborn toil,

Whose oxen long have torn the furrow'd soil,

Sees with delight the sun's declining ray,

When home with feeble knees he bends his way

To late repast (the day's hard labour done);

Explanation:

An epic simile is a type of metaphor that uses comparisons to describe an event, someone, a place, etc. by using the words "like", "as" or "as in", and that is developed over several lines of verse, thus it is long, and which it's more commonly found in epic poems.

Therefore, the chosen lines are an example of an epic simile, as the narrator compares the character to "the tired ploughman" and, in the folowing lines, the narrator provides further characteristics of him.

Answer: After carefully reading the excerpt presented above I came up with the following. I believe that the main idea that this excerpt is trying to convey is the fact that you surrounding are what will help you grow an shape you into the person that you will become in the future. For this reason you must be aware of this fact early on so that you can surround yourself with good influences early in your life. The best examples of great influences are your parents, family, and mainly people that surround you. You become the best parts of every one of this great influences. Therefore to understand you, they would have to know them.

What does Patrick reveal to Mary?
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although the narrator does not explicitly state that Patrick has announced that he is leaving Mary, his pregnant wife, the words "of course, I'll give you money and see that you're taken care of" make clear his intention. He comments that it would make trouble for him in his job as a policeman if he abandons her.
