Answer:

The given poem uses simile and sensory imagery.

Explanation:

A simile is the use of "as" and "like" in making comparisons between two unlike things but yet connected somehow. This allows for related themes or ideas to be connected to provide a more vivid description.

On the other hand, sensory imagery is the description of things through the medium of the five senses- sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. This technique engages the reader's mind, giving a vivid sense of imagination and allowing for a more connected sense of understanding the text.

In the poem "Simile" by N. Scott Momaday, the figurative language and imagery used are that of a simile and sensory imagery. The <u>simile is seen in the comparison of "we" to a "deer", in the line "we are as the deer"</u>.

And sensory imagery is seen in the lines

<em>"who walk in single file </em>

<em>with heads high </em>

<em>with ears forward </em>

<em>with eyes watchful </em>

<em>with hooves always placed on firm ground </em>

<em>in whose limbs there is latent flight"</em>

Throughout <u>lines 3 to 8, we find visual, sensory, and kinetic imagery</u>.

What is the major difference between a memoir and an autobiography
anygoal [31]
Well although the two are very close in comparison, an autobiography is a book that the author writes about their whole lives and themselves while a memoir is only part of the author's life that he writes about. Hope that helps!

Why do you think that it is important to be responsible while at<br> school?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

It is important to be responsible while at school because what you do during that time not only affects your education and your future, it can affect the education and future of others.

Explanation: When you do things in school with obnoxious or unwanted behavior, enough so, that the teacher has to interrupt class to warn you, you take time out of the lesson, which could leave others to have to study more at home, or stay after class to ask a question. Then those who stay after class take up the next class's time and so on and so forth. Along with that, responsibility doesn't just mean behaving, it means doing the work when it needs to be done. Not doing so can wreck your future. Hence, why it is important to always take into account how your behavior and choices have to be considered during a school day, so as to not poorly affect yours or another's future. Hope this helps :)
