"everything was suddenly out of tune like a broken accordion" is a good example of figurative language. It shows the knowledge of the narrator, who must have seen or heard this broken accordion at some point in his life. They seem in shock by the fact that his family is crumbling, hence their use of the word "suddenly." It also shows quite the dramatic persona and exaggeration by saying that 'everything' was suddenly out of tune.

A rite of passage is a personal experience that marks a life change or transition. Some examples are: going on your first date,
Jlenok [28]

The correct answer is going on a first date.

This Gary Soto’s poem, <em>Oranges</em>, describes the feelings of a boy going on a first date, most probably, for the first time in his life. That is the reason why we can say that the poem depicts a rite of passage, because this was a significant turning point in his life.

The first date is described as the first time he walked with a girl. He picks her up. She is wearing make-up. The physical contact between them is shy and gentle and he leds her down the street. He invites her a chocolate bar and the poet keeps on describing his thoughts an feelings to vividly recreate that passage from being a naive boy to a hormonal teenager.
