<span>The story Number the Stars is about a Jewish family who escapes Copenhagen during WWII. The story centers on a young girl who lives in Copenhagen in 1943 and becomes part of bigger events as Danish Jews get rescued by receiving aid to help them reach neutral ground in Sweden. The phrase good fishing was used by adults in the book as code that means to bring the Jews to Sweden.</span>
Please can you upload a clear picture? Otherwise I’m happy to help! :)
Answer: a: simile b: alliteration c: simile d: personification e: hyperbole f: simile g: simile h: simile i: alliteration j: metaphor
Explanation: Similes are comparing unlike things with like or as. This means that a, c, g and h are similes. However on d it also uses the word as but it's personification. That's because personification is giving nonliving things human like characteristics. A chair cannot wait, but a human can therefore it's personification. Alliteration is the repetiotion of the beginning sound on a set of words. So because most of the words in b and i start with the same sound, it's alliteration. E is a hyperbole because a hyperbole is an exaggeration. The speaker of the statement doesn't actually have a million things to do, they're exaggerating which makes it a hyperbole. Lastly j is a metaphor because it compares 2 unlike things without using like or as, instead using was. Hope this helps :)
