Hey there!

That's an amazing question.

Below's my answer:

Let's compare and contrast these books (focusing on education and communication).

<u>The Story of My  Life</u>

  • Written by Hellen Keller
  • Author discusses her many constraints in growing up
  • Education was available, but, until she learned Braille, life was hard
  • She found it hard to communicate
  • 1st person autobiography
  • Describes how her life was changed with Anne Sullivan
  • Has extraordinary language (high-leveled)

<u>Maniac Magee</u>

  • Written by Jerry Spinelli
  • Talks about an White orphan who runs away to a small town in Pennsylvania, Two Mills
  • Education was there, Grayson offered, Maniac refused (he was the only White)
  • Is shy
  • Describes how Maniac's life was changed when he went to Two Mills (Mars Bar, Amanda Beale, et cetera)
  • Uses slang to convey tone, mood, and theme

Looking at the above points, we can presume that both <u>Maniac Magee</u> and <u>The Story of My Life</u> discuss the struggles that occur when growing up (education and communication) when you are seen differently.

Blizzard [7]
The correct answer is C.

These lines are an example of enjambment. We can tell this because the sentence does not end with the line of poetry but instead carries over to the next lines.

This is not example of a metaphor because the comparison uses the word "like." This selection, then, illustrates both enjambment and simile.

Tanya [424]
<span>Squire With him there was his son, a youthful squire, A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press. Some twenty years of age he was, I guess. In stature he was of an average length, Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength. He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy, And borne him well within that little space In hope to win thereby his lady's grace. Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead, All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red. Singing he was, or fluting, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May. Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide. Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride. He could make songs and words thereto indite, Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write. So hot he loved that, while night told her tale, He slept no more than does a nightingale. Courteous he, and humble, willing and able, And carved before his father at the table.</span>
