Answer:
The comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet is burial preparations for after death
Explanation:
The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt, here is the complete question:
During the picking season my grandmother would get out of bed at four o'clock and creak down to her knees and chant in a sleep-filled voice, "our father, you for letting me see this new day. you that you didn't allow the bed I lay on last night to be my cooling board, nor my blanket my winding sheet." in this excerpt use context clues to identify what comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet.
* bed linens at a resort
* a rack for hot food and a dish towel
* burial preparations for after death
* ironing equipment
These lines describe how the character's grandmother is grateful to good to be alive one more day, and she prays to him after having open her eyes another morning, the words cooling board and winding-sheet refer to the place where the body would rest after death, being the body and the coffin a cold since there is no life in there anymore, and the winding-sheet is the one that it is used to wrapped corpses to burial.
My name is Angus McBangus. I have made a very silly mistake. I have taken the royal adorning jewel (the most treasured and admired jewel in all of the kingdom) found in the King's crown and run away with it. Now, all of the royal guards in all of the kingdom are after me. So far, they have chased me through 3 countries. I am afraid that I will have to keep running for the rest of my life! But, even then, what are the chances of me lasting as a fugitive for that long? I might as well surrender. Yes, that's what I'll do! I will surrender to the guard and give them the royal crown jewel! Maybe then they will go easy on me and not give me a long time in prison. I sure hope so! What do you think?<span />
The meaning of the question is basically pick a story, pick one event(preferably major) from this story, and explain how it contributes to the moral of the story
