Explanation:
Being told what the song is about, helps the reader understand the lyrics.
Because the reader is told what the song is about, we know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics reinforce what the song is about, like how a simile reinforces what a passage is about. Think about this: If an author wrote, "The man was as brave as a lion,", instead of, "The man was brave", this is a much better choice of words.
Similarly to the passage, by using similes in the lyrics to better emphasize overcoming emotional and physical pain, the song helps the reader understand better the message of the song.
Answer:
So, by reading the section, the reader understands that a simile is about two things being compared to one another, like how the song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.
Answer:
The sentence contains an external conflict.
Explanation:
We can define conflict as a struggle between two opposing forces. In literature, some common types of conflict are: character vs self, character vs society, and character vs nature.
Conflicts can also be external or internal. <u>External conflicts take place between the character and an outside force - another person, society, nature, financial difficulties etc.</u> On the other hand, an internal conflict happens in the character's mind, often because of the character's self - difficulty to change or to adapt, stress, fear, anger etc.
<u>The sentence we are analyzing here portrays an external conflict, since the characters (hikers) face an outside force (the desert on a hot day). The conflict here is, more precisely, man vs nature. These people can die due to dehydration during the day. They can also die from the cold at night. They can run into wild and poisonous animals, such as rattle snakes.</u>
The sentence contains a dangling modifier.
As it is written the modifier "considering the candidates" seems to be describing "one." However, one is not doing the considering; instead, "one" is a candidate.
A better revision might be "Considering the candidates, I feel one stands out as the best choice." In this way, the person doing the considering is made clear.
