Answer: Could be simile, metaphor, and personification

Explanation:

"her hair was like the wool of a mountain sheep,"

The author is describing the view of the protagonist on the girl's hair saying it is like the wool of a sheep. The author uses the word "like" to show that author is comparing two things to each other.

"Her eyes, a pair of brown-black beans floating in milk."

The author is describing the view of the protagonist on the girl's eye saying it is like a pair of brown-black beans floating in milk. The author didn't use the word "like" while comparing the two objects, showing metaphor.

"the downy grass and peeping weeds."

The grass and weeds are given the characteristic of a human to show a deeper level of explanation.

if anyone has taken journalism before, can you please write me a news story about why poaching is bad. It Has to be at least 4 t
Tema [17]

Answer:

I've never taken journalism, but I can make one hell of an essay.

Explanation:

    Poaching is an illegal practice of delinquent rule breaking for the desire of killing for sport. Restrictions such as protected national parks, laws in most countries, protected and tracked endangered species, and other common regulations are all invalidated by hunters who poach. Laws on a country-wide level should be common knowledge, and should have no reason to be enforced so heavily in some countries. Even so, the illegal activity of poaching still occurs in many cases all over the world.

    This disgusting "sport" - as categorized by many - is extremely endangering to animals. In fact, most species on the endangered species list are animals who have the highest poaching rate. When they aren't killed for sport, they are killed for "rare" parts. An example of this would be the black rhino poaching crisis in Africa, where rhinos are killed for their horns.

    Similar to Yellowstone National Park, there are many special designated areas on the national level to protect the species that live there. More often than not, these areas have endangered species that are desired by hunters who poach. These areas are regularly monitored, and generally have decent security systems. This can include cameras, chips in the animals, or traditional strategies like standing guards.

    Chipped animals are those we can accurately track at any point and time. Think of your dog, who might have a chip in his ear so that if he runs away you can find him. We use these chips to track different animals or different species to make sure they are safe and where they need to be. Although this strategy seems bulletproof to catch poachers, illegal hunters have found a simple way around this.

    General laws are the least effective strategy to stop poachers, but the most common solution seen by far. While these laws are in place, they are rarely enforced due to them usually being on the federal government level in most countries. Although, as expected, most countries that use this strategy lets poaching go right under all of their noses, making the countries with these laws have the highest amount of this illegal activity going on.

Why should we value expereiences?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<em>Well, studies show that spending our hard-earned money on experiences actually makes us happier. They bring more lasting joy, often because they can be shared with others in the moment, as well as offering shareability on social media. In short, experiences are a way to build community and to deepen relationships.</em>
