Esperanza looked down at Silvia's dirty hands. Silvia grinned up at her and Esperanza's first thought was to pull her hand away

and wash it as soon as possible. Then she remembered Mama's kindness to the peasant girl on the train - and her disappointment in Esperanza. She didn't want Silvia to start crying if she were to pull away. She looked around at the dusty camp and thought that it must be hard to stay clean in such a place. She squeezed Silvia's hand and said, "I have a best friend, too. Her name is Marisol and she lives in Aguascalientes."

Why does Esperanza decide to hold Silvia’s hand, no matter how she feels about it?

She thinks Marisol would be disappointed if she let go.
She knows she can wash her hand soon.

Answer:

I believe the answer is C, she doesn't want to disappoint her mother.

Explanation:

The narrator makes it clear that Esperanza thinks Silvia is disgusting, but when Esperanza thinks back to the conversation she had with her mother and decides against pulling away, it's directly stated in the text that she chooses to hold on instead because<em> </em>her mother is already disappointed in her. (sorry if this is incorrect)

Match each sentence to the type of figurative language it features.

Answer:

She floated around the room so easily she

could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion

She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile

She floated around the room, moving in no

specific direction - Metaphor.

Explanation:

A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"

This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.

A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.

In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.

Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.

In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
