Write a simile comparing a tree with a domesticated animal. In your simile, use a word that is normally used as a noun (like lip

Viefleur [7K]

An example of a simile is the following:

"The tree was as thin as a hound dog."

As in the sentence above, a simile is a figure of speech which compares two different things, in order to make the description more intense or forceful. Another example could be:

"The man is as tall as a giraffe."

Evaluate the culture presented in the story. What details do you notice that show this story is not taking place in the United S

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Descriptions of the setting, particularly the names of the streets, indicate "Araby" does not take place in the United States.*

*See explanation for a more in-depth answer

Explanation:

There are subtle ‘hints,’ or details, presented throughout the story that show “Araby” is not taking place in the United States. For starters, the story states these two specific street names: “North Richmond Street” and “Buckingham Street.” Now, these are two street names that America does have. There is a Richmond Street located in Palmdale, California and there is a Buckingham Street in Fullerton, California. Based on this information alone one might (unknowingly & incorrectly) assume that the story is taking place in America. However, there is one sentence in the story that reveals this story could not have taken place in the United States. Read the first sentence of “Araby”:

“North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free.”

According to this sentence, there is a Christian Brothers’ School located on North Richmond Street. Only one place in the world has an all boys school located on a street called North Richmond. That place is Dublin, Ireland. Therefore, based on the gathered information, it is safe to say that this story takes place in Dublin, Ireland; not the United States.

FUN FACT:

The Christian Brothers’ School on North Richmond Street changed its name to O’Connell Secondary School.

This Poet is from the Poetical Works of A. Pope

I believe that this poet refers to the medieval ages, since it was written by a pope and talks about kings and their strength where they compare it to the wind and the sea.

Write a paragraph about how anne frank found the courage through the difficult years in hiding

mestny [16]

Anne Frank demonstrates great bravery when she hides with her family and others in the underground annex during the Holocaust. She is well aware that leaving the attic, as well as being discovered by others other than the sympathetic people who are hiding the Jewish families in the attic, would almost certainly result in her death.

What is the central idea of the passage from Friendship by Ralph Waldo Emerson

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Emerson warns that friendship is “too good to be believed,” because one can never truly know another person; to Emerson, there is a “strict science” that keeps all persons in “remoteness” from one another. Because a person cannot know another person completely, friendship then is based on an imagined concept.
