Answer:
Summary:
Explanation:
A grandmother and her granddaughter are inside making a snack and some tea. To kill some time while the water boils, they read the almanac and make jokes out of what they find. Even though the grandmother is laughing, it seems she is upset about something, because she's trying to hide her tears.
At this point, both the grandmother and the grandchild seem to disappear into their own private thoughts. The grandmother thinks how her sadness might be connected to the time of year, and the child is distracted by the condensation forming on the teakettle. While the grandmother tidies up—hanging the almanac back on its string, putting more wood on the stove—the child draws a picture of a house and a man "with buttons like tears" to show to her grandma.
The poem ends in a pretty imaginative way, with the almanac dropping imaginary moons from its pages into the flower bed of the kid's drawing, then saying "time to plant tears"; the grandmother singing to the stove; and the child drawing another scribble of a house with her crayons.

Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
