Identify the examples of metaphors and similes that the author uses to describe toms interactions with ruby. How does this figur
professor190 [17]

In the short story ‘the Deep’ by Anthony Doerr, Tom is a young man with a serius heart disease that might not live longer.


The metaphors and similes are used in the story to show how Tom’s emotions got his best every time he was with Ruby. Because of his disease, he has been forbidden to have any excitement in life. When he meets Ruby it all changes, for she causes great exciting effects on him so he faints and is advised to think of something blue everytime to avoid the faints. This color became a metaphor to him to calm him down as a "calming sea in the turmoil of life".


Tom would feel "as if the whole sky was rushing through the open door into his mouth" or that "his blood was storming through its lightless tunnels" as metaphors showing his great strong feelings for her before his faintings or that his life only had meaning or 'light' because of her. Also a simile used, for example, when "he was trembling like a needle to a pole" showing his excitement in their adventures.


It can be understood by the use of the figurative languages (making impossible comparisons) in the story that he started to enjoy life and his best self only with her around. He would not care about anything else.

Why can't some substances dissolve in water? Chemically?
mash [69]
This is the reason why can't some substances dissolve in water and chemically: Water is a polar molecule. If a solute dissolved in water is polar molecule, it will dissolve in water. If a solute dissolved in water is non-polar like oil it will not dissolve in water.

BIOGRAPHICAL and AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL EXCERPTS
zloy xaker [14]

BIO

Focus: the focus in the first passage is about how he came to be in time everything he went through stating his full name birth date  and birth place also the dates of everything that had happened in his life

Amount of detail: the amount of detail is of an outsider looking in only stating what was already been said and detail was more dry than and auto-bio would have been because the person writing about it wasn't the person who experienced these things and didn't hear the exact words that were said at certain moments

use of language: this type of language sounds more like their trying to tell you not show you what happened so you cant really imagen what happened at those certain events unless you did your own deep research

tone: this tone was rather professional and informative than anything like i said before They were telling you rather than showing you what happened

message : the message was how successful Ben was in all the events that occurred


AUTO

Focus: the focus was more on his life and how he felt and how he felt time was passing

Amount of detail: the amount of detail helped you imagen more of everything the amount of detail was very good here and helped you see what was going on less dry than the Bio

Use of language: At this aspect you can see that he took time to write his life out with consideration and his use of language here was very smooth and flowed very nicely together

Tone : his tone was more relaxed as he was trying to inform you as much as possible telling you his hopes and dreams growing up the things people said to him and turning points

Message: the message here was clear and inspiring he tells you how much better his imagination and life has gotten better all because he read and read he even got smarter and became a product of inspiration him self like he had hoped all his life

Hopefully this helps ^-^
