Answer:

In the stanzas containing the famous phrase 'of mice and men' Robert Burns, the poet, compares a rat's ability to live in the present to the human's inability.

Explanation:

Robert Burns is one of the defining figures of Romantic thought. <u>this poem compares the state of bliss that animals live in to the unnatural life a human leads</u> due to their excessive thinking and the woes of modern life.

this is evident in the last 2 stanzas of the poem 'to a mouse' when Burns first calls the mouse 'no thy-lane<u>'</u> and then <u>calls it more fortunate because it can blissfully live in the present</u> while<u> a human is doomed to worry about the future and keep thinking about the past.</u>

Choose the word that fits the definition - compares two things directly and do not use the words “like” or “as” A. Hyperbole B.
Ymorist [56]
Analogy compares two things directly and do not use the words "like" or "as" 

Only Metaphor uses "like" or "as" 

Hyperbole is like an exaggeration.

Answer:

It depends on the matter, such as how Susan B Anthony broke the law of being a woman voting in my eyes such thing is silly to be a law and to be arrested for, other matters such as murder, theft, and plenty of other things should never be okay to break the law for. I would only break the law over things I feel is ridiculous and it should be done such as what Susan did when she voted, I would've also voted as a woman because she did nothing wrong in my opinion. I may not have much personal experience so let's instead look at Rosa Parks who was arrested because she wouldn't give her seat up to a white person, heck I most certainly would not have to, when Rosa broke that "law" of not getting off her seat for the white person she did nothing wrong in that act but was still arrested for it and again in my eyes she did not do anything wrong by breaking that law.

Hope this helps i wrote it off the top of my head :) stay safe!!
