Answer:
Declarative
Explanation:
This is the introduction to the text "Living Like Weasels" by Annie Dillard:
"<em>A weasel is wild. Who knows what he thinks? He sleeps in his underground den, his tail draped over his nose. Sometimes he lives in his den for two days without leaving. Outside, he stalks rabbits, mice, muskrats, and birds, killing more bodies than he can eat warm, and often dragging the carcasses home. Obedient to instinct, he bites his prey at the neck, either splitting the jugular vein at the throat or crunching the brain at the base of the skull, and he does not let go. One naturalist refused to kill a weasel who was socketed into his hand deeply as a rattlesnake. The man could in no way pry the tiny weasel off, and he had to walk half a mile to water, the weasel dangling from his palm, and soak him off like a stubborn label."</em>
In this passage, we see that Dillard is using declarative sentences. The term "declarative sentences" describes the most common type of sentence in English. These are sentences that relay information about a particular topic. In this case, that topic is weasels. These sentences are often used to state facts. This is the case in this passage, as we learn about various facts related to weasels, such as their sleeping habits, their eating habits and their hunting habits.

As a consequence, the decision to leave his childhood garden for a new garden implies the idea that he is leaving or has left China to start a new life in The USA.

Answer:
Simile
Explanation:
"As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport."
This line of thought expresses both pessimism and optimism because in as much as the gods inflict pain on we mortals this is to keep mortals to obey morals in the society.
