I would have to say that the meaning of this phrase would be that she sees that food and education does'nt give her the gratification trendy that apparel does. I'm sorry but this is the closest that I could possibly think well hopefully you get the idea. Sorry if i didnt answer this correctly. Hope i help
The following line uses iambic pentameter:
B. I think that John is looking glum to me.
<em>Iambic pentameter is whenever there are five feet in which there is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. </em>
Feet- are small groups of syllables.
(<em>I</em> think) (<em>that</em> John) (<em>is</em> look) (<em>ing</em> glum) (to me).
- bold= stressed
- italics= unstressed
- ( ) = feet
In my opinion this was a strong bridge because it connects the hook and conclusion very nicely.
Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something else, you are using figurative language. Any language that goes beyond the literal meaning of words in order to furnish new effects or fresh insights into an idea or a subject. The most common figures of speech are simile, metaphor, and alliteration.
Some details that the text show that the excerpt was written in the past and not the present is, the story uses a lot of had and was which could be a huge clue that the text was written in the past sense its using past tense vocabulary. for example, in the excerpt it talks about how the children had a kind and merry housemaid. If it was present tense then the sentence would be, they have a kind and merry housemaid because it would mean that the house maid is with them right now and if it was future tense then it would be they will have a kind and merry housemaid because they don't have the maid yet and you would be using future tense words to indicate it hasn't happened yet. I hope this makes sense and helps.
