Answer:
It is the tale of two cities.
Explanation:
Answer and Explanation:
This is the poem "Teenagers" by Pat Mora:
One day they disappear
into their rooms.
Doors and lips shut
and we become strangers
in our own home.
I pace the hall, hear whispers,
a code I knew but can't remember,
mouthed by mouths I taught to speak.
Years later the door opens.
I see faces I once held,
open as sunflowers in my hands. I see
familiar skin now stretched on long bodies
that move past me
glowing almost like pearls.
As was described in the question, a simile compares two different things with the help of "as" or "like". The purpose is to attribute a characteristic of one of those things to the other.
<u>In the poem, the speaker is using a simile when she says, "open as sunflowers in my hands." Her children are now big, much bigger than she could have expected them to become in just a few years. It's as if she is surprised by the fact that they are no longer babies. They are grown, different, just like a flower is when it opens, when it ceases being just a bud.</u>
Answer:
the answer is C. He promises to destroy Troy and fight for Helen.
Explanation:
I believe the correct answer is B: It lends a sense of believability to the absurd events, allowing the reader to suspend their disbelief.
The point is to make an absurd story believable at the very basic, personal level. We may stop to think: but wait, how is it possible that someone is hitting another person with an umbrella all the time? But the story is supposed to make us ask ourselves who are we to doubt someone's personal account. The speaker had also had trouble to believe what's happening to him, and yet he got so used to it that now he can't imagine his life without his mysterious companion and his (somewhat bizarre) preoccupation.
So, by the time we finish reading the story, we already understand that (dis)believing should not be an issue at all.
