gazing into the distance—
like impatient travelers
waiting for the 3 o’clock train.

Answer:

The flowers are personified as humans.

Explanation:

In the poem the writer uses words that make the flowers sound alive. Wide-eyed gazing into the distance, waiting for the 3 o'clock train. The flowers seem to be more alive this way rather than if you were to describe only their physical attributes.

What ultimately motivates brutus to join the conspiracy
coldgirl [10]

Republican by nature, Brutus never tried to hide his political convictions. Married to Cato's daughter, his cousin sister Porcia, he wrote a text extolling the qualities of his deceased father-in-law. Cesar was very fond of him and respected his opinions very much. However, Brutus, like many other senators, was not satisfied with the state of the Republic. Cesar had been appointed perpetual dictator and had passed several laws that concentrated power in his hands. It was rumored that only the crown was missing to match any king. The final period of the monarchy in Rome was a bad memory. The Romans had replaced royalty with the Republic and the more traditional did not want a return to such a system. Brutus was finally motivated to join the conspiracy by anonymous letters sent to him in which Rome asked for help. Brutus started a conspiracy against César along with his brother-in-law and friend Gaius Cassius Longinus and other senators. In the Ides of March (March 15, 44 BC), a group of senators, including Brutus, murdered César in the theater of Pompey.

Why did the authors use the metaphor “my whole left side was a bonfire of pain l” instead of saying “my whole left side hurt ver
Bingel [31]

Answer:

hmm.. the author used a metaphor so you would have a better understanding on how the horrid pain in their left side felt. metaphors allow creativity and can paint a clearer picture of what you describe. they help express certain emotions and can help you better understand something.
