I bet the butcher that he couldn’t reach the meat on the top shelf. He refused to take the bet because the steaks were too high.

This is an example of an idiom.

An idiom that has a different meaning than what it sounds like.

It doesn’t actually mean that the steak is high. “The steaks were too high” simply means that it’s too dangerous/risky.


Hope this helps!

How can you describe a problem using a personal narrative? PLS HELP QUICK
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

I would say to use all the parties involved to shape their experience from a different perspective.  The way you shape your perspective can have a big impact on how your reader sees your all-inclusive and overall plot.  The author should take part as one of the characters and you should show WHAT happened and you need to establish your perspective uniquely.  A key thing is that you want your reader to take away from what you are writing, and the tone of voice you are using.  Also for the problem, why was it a problem?  Who helped solve or help the problem?  If there is a solution, then explain that in detail, and since it is a personal narrative, how do you feel overall from the problem or conflict?  I HOPE THIS HELPS, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!
