Answer:

<em>'He is the same colour </em><em>as </em><em>the earth, and a great deal less interesting to look at.'</em>

Explanation:

George Orwell uses Simile, a figurative language device that compares two things using the adverbs like or as.

When describing the people working on the land he refers to them as the unvisible part of a (beautiful) visible landscape. This is a very subtle way of critisizing the British Empire that ignores (they don´t see them) the working people who, seen by Orwell, are doing important work.

What is good side and bad side Mobilphone
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

One good side of having a mobilephone (or giving one to a kid) is that you will have much more contact. If the person with the phone is in danger, they can call their family and/or the police. Without a phone, this may be much harder to do. A downside of a kid having a mobile phone is that they may be exposed to many things on the internet, especially with social media. They could see thing they do not wish to see, they may be bullied, or they may experience jelousy when seeing other people on social media. In my opinion, phones are a very good resource for schoolwork, watching occasional videos, seeing the news, and staying in contact with family and friends, but this is only up to a certain point.

In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, which adjective best describes Mrs. Mallard?
igor_vitrenko [27]

In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, adjective what best describes Mrs. Mallard is repressed.

Kate Chopin describe Mrs. Mallard as "Young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength." The lines on the face of Mrs. Mallard is described to indicate that she keeps many things inside her repressed. Mrs. Mallard doesn't give her feelings a free reign. Also, suffering from medical conditions, she puts her life to threat. We learn that she due to her marriage sufferings and is not optimistic about her married life. We learn this when she wishes for her life to be short, a night before the death of her husband. as an option to marriage, she would welcome her death gladly.

When Josephine inform Mrs. Mallard about the death of her husband we tend to observe her first reaction where she weeps into her sister’s arm and was hard to take. <em>“She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.”</em> In such grief she rushes off to her room to be alone, later it is observed that “But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.” And the reader sees something coming to her and speaks softly “free, free, free!.” This situation can be dramatic as only the reader knows the real feeling of Mrs. Mallard. On the other hand, other characters are not aware of her real feelings. She celebrates it and by the end, she is dead with a heartbreak, wherein, her husband receives the news of Louise's death.
