Connect, Challenge, Conflict, Conquer, and Conclude are the five elements to make a compelling story.
The excerpt from Homer’s Iliad which contains an epic simile is:
“As wasps, provoked by children in their play,
Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,
In swarms, the guiltless engage,
Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveler”
The simile in the above excerpt is 'like a swarm of bees.' A simile is a direct comparison between two things. It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them. In the above excerpt, the number of people has been compared with the swarm of bees.
The Theme of My Life As A Bat is that bats are treated horribly by humans.
<span>In lines 21-29 Atwood states "I have recurring nightmares. In one of them I am clinging to the ceiling of a summer cottage, while a red-faced man in white shorts and a white V-neck T-shirt jumps up and down hitting me with a tennis racket. </span>
These lines are a reference to how humans treat bats. The man is trying to get rid of her because he feels as if he is in danger. Atwood uses the line "hitting me with a racket" to show how she was treated. He does not care for her well being, he just wants to get rid of her.
<span>Bats are seen as objects more than the wonderful and interesting creatures they are. We as humans should try and inform others more on how bats are not as dangerous as they seem.</span>
