Answer:

The metaphor he uses is "this chopping of civilized life", in which he means that you are forced along whatever current is controlling you and you have no control. A similar metaphor is located in lines 199-209, which are "the surface of the Earth" and "the path which the mind follows". Just like the first one talks about how you are controlled by an established current, these show that the human mind is easily influenced similar to how the Earth's ground is easily shaped and marked by the steps taken by otehrs. These state issues of non-individuality and how we don't develop our own ideas.

Is moon shadow finding it difficult to fit in during the events in chapter 3
drek231 [11]
Yes, as he found it difficult to comprehend the things he was surrounded by. He was curious about his father, and yet, he was frightened by the things his father was excited to show him. Moon Shadow was uncomfortable and frightened by the electric light, the ear phones, the crystal set, the strangely constructed machines, all of which he believed to be some kind of magic.

"I didn't say anything, but father realized I was scared from the way I was shaking.”

Question 9 of 17
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

B. "I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous."

Explanation:

The theme, "Each person contains good and evil" means that we all have two sides embedded in us and it is shown based on challenges, situations, treatment and things we are being subjected to during the cause of our living. The good side manifests if the world around us isn't cruel or trains us to be good and compassionate while the other side also manifests if the world treats us with horror and hence becomes part of us.

14. He <u>likes</u> (like) drinking orange juice.

15. We <u>weren't </u>(not/be) at school 2 days ago.

Explanation:

Note that we usually decide which verb form to use according to time expressions given in the sentence.

For instance, time expressions such as <em>every summer holiday, on Monday, every Friday, every day</em> indicate that we are talking about a repeated action/habit and that the tense we need to use in these sentences is present simple tense. On the other hand, if we have time expressions such as <em>now, at present, at the moment</em>, we need to use present continuous tense. Expressions such as<em> yesterday, two days ago, 2 weeks ago </em>require past simple tense, etc.
