Man: Okay parents listen up! Wrap a bunch of empty boxes and put them under your tree. When your kids are acting bad throw one of them in the fire!
Mom: But what do I do when I run out of kids...
Man:
I think instagram is better
Answer:
"Boredom was a terror almost as awful as the work itself."
Explanation:
This is the metaphor that Gary Soto uses in the text "One Last Time. " In this text, Soto describes both boredom and work as awful "terrors." This shows that Soto finds it difficult and disheartening to engage in either of these activities, as he does not enjoy work or rest. The image conveys the idea that Soto has lost all drive and motivation. This metaphor contributes to creating a tone of sadness and desperation.
Poem: A new way see life
In the mist of the shadows
My pain become a sorrow
A time to make myself own
Was the one to be sown
I felt like you didn't wanted me
But I know that you granted me a gift
A new way, a new life
A new hope
So, come be with me
for here I am, waiting for you
