While I do not have the book and cannot give specifics

for similes, look for anything comparing two things with like or as
(he ran"like" a giraffe on stilts)
( she was "as" round as a balloon)

for metaphor it compares without like or as
( the girl was a cat sneaking up on her prey)

Use context to determine the meaning of the word fakirs as it is used in paragraph 18 “The Monkey’s Paw.” The singular form is u
pashok25 [27]

Fakir= A holy man from India who can do miraculous things.

From my definition I know that a holy person put a spell on the monkey’s paw to teach humanity a lesson. In the text Mr. White says that he wants to go to India "to see those old temples and fakirs and jugglers." From this I can infer that the Fakirs are people from India. Sergeant Major says that “a very holy man” put a spell on the monkey’s paw. This means that fakirs are holy people from India. To check my definition and understanding I can check a dictionary or obviously google it up!!!

Identify the literary device used in the following quote from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde:
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. simile

Explanation:

The literary device used in this quote from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is simile.

From the quote, there is comparison of "the agents that have power to shake and pluck" with "a wind that tosses curtains of a pavilion". The comparison is carried out with the use of "as".

Simile is a figure of speech used in the comparison of two things with use of "like" and "as". It makes the comparison more emphatic and vivid. Simile is different from metaphor because it uses <em>as</em> and <em>like</em>  in comparing things whereas metaphor doesn't use <em>as</em> and <em>like </em>to compare things.
