The use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand

raketka [301]

This question is incomplete because the excerpt is missing; here is the excerpt:

In a smithy one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam- the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.

The answer to this question is D. How hot the spear actually is

Explanation:

The purpose of the epic simile is to make an extensive comparison between two elements of ideas. This differs from regular simile because it uses many details or lines to make the comparison. In the excerpt presented, the author uses an epic simile to compare the actin of the spike entering the eye of the cyclops with the action of putting a hot metal in a cold tub through details such as "white-hot axehead... in a cold tub" or "that eyeball hissed around the spike". Moreover, the purpose of using this epic simile is to emphasize how hot the spike is, which allows the reader to imagine the reaction of the cyclops as the hot spike enters its eye.

When was a time that you falsely judged someone, or a group, through the lens of a single story?

kirill115 [55]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

When was a time that you falsely judged someone, or a group, through the lens of a single story?

It was precisely some while ago when I falsely believed that Native American people were still living like in the 1700s, during colonial American times.

I was so wrong, and it was the product of my prejudice.

You hear stories, you do not have the criteria to go investigate and find good sources, and you simply believe what you heard. And of course, this is a great mistake.

You have to go to search for proper sources and find what is true.

And the truth is that Native American Indian people are hard-working people, dedicated to maintaining their traditions and culture, while working in businesses, shops, hotels, services, trying to be productive and supporting their families, while being respectful to the United States laws and principles.

So please, do not believe in what you just hear. Go make your research and find the truth. Do not believe in stereotypes or prejudices.
