When you desrcibe something in a passage, it helps the reader understand and visualize what happened or what is happening. For example, when Equanio talked about the fish he described them jumping and flying across the ship. With that, the readers can see what is happening inside theiir mind. This makes them more attracted to reading the excerpt even more, and gives them a good understanding about the setting of the story.

During our passage, I first saw flying fishes, which surprised me very much; they used frequently to fly across the ship, and many of them fell on the deck. I also now first saw the use of the quadrant; I had often with astonishment seen the mariners make observations with it, and I could not think what it meant. They at last took notice of my surprise; and one of them, willing to increase it, as well as to gratify my curiosity, made me one day look through it. The clouds appeared to me to be land, which disappeared as they passed along. This heightened my wonder; and I was now more persuaded than ever, that I was in another world, and that every thing about me was magic

The correct answers should be C, B, and B. I hope these are correct for you. In paragraph 3 it says " 100 years later the Negro live on a lonely island". this means the answer is C for the first one. The second one is B because when he says chains of discrimination he does not mean their actually held by chains. This means B is the answer for the second one. In paragraph 8 it says that "The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty". This means B is the correct answer for the third one. Hope this helped.

How do simile and metaphor differ in their approaches to creating experience for a reader?
victus00 [196]
<span>A metaphor can be used to replace one idea with another.  For example, a tsunami can be described as a "wave of destruction" for the damage that it causes.  It implies a comparison.  A simile establishes the comparison of ideas.  An endless torrent of rain flooded the valley like a tsunami.</span>
