I would say a simile because its a comparison. the person is comparing her eyes to the sun. it specifically uses "like", which is a clear indicator of a simile
It might be a tragedy of fate after all. Yes, I do think that the witches play a central role in the play, because if it hadn't been for them, none of the tragedy would have happened. If they hadn't told Macbeth about what was to happen, he would never have thought about killing Duncan and becoming king himself. He would have been satisfied with where he was at that particular moment, and proud of himself. This way, the witches destroyed everything by planting the seed of greed in Macbeth, and thus it had to end tragically.
Answer:
Claudius wanted the crown, wanted Queen Gertrude as his own, and sought to fulfill his own ambition through his violent acts. He isn't sure if he can be forgiven of his sins because he is unwilling to give up any of these things. Therefore, he feels that he can't truly repent (which is to turn away from sin and head in a different direction) and that his heart is "black as death."
Nevertheless, Claudius drops to his knees to pray, hoping that "all may be well." Watching from a distance, Hamlet knows that he has his answer but can't kill him in an act of prayer, believing that doing so would send his father's murderer straight to Heaven.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Choice A would make sense for the first sentence, but not the rest. Choice B is supported by the part of the passage that says, "...I am weightless again, flying past the other runners". The choice C isn't supported whatsoever because the passage does not say whether or not Squeaky wins, nor does it talk about working hard to prepare for the race. The choice D is supported by the positive self-talk and the resulting physical response (running faster) that the passage describes. This is why I believe D is the best answer.
D. Success is possible if one truly believes in oneself
