The figurative language used in the excerpt is a simile. It adds to the characterization because it compares <span>the mother as a calm/silent person.

Could i get the options please?
Odysseus takes back his home and wife by sneaking up the on the sailors and killing them. He doesn’t appreciate that his house has been run over and that random men are trying to marry his wife but she also has a plan herself. She tells the sailors that she will marry one of them when she finishes her rig so every night she unravels it so she starts over until Odysseus comes back. He fights the sailors off and they die.
Answer:
Lately, I've been thinking about the time that I waste by just sitting so me and my friend Jimmy decided to manage our time by making a list of stuff we have to do. At first we didn't know what we should add on the list due to being kids, so we went to ask my mom and told her about the list and she suggested we should add a reading hour. I came back to Jimmy and told him about the idea and he wrote it down. The next idea came from Jimmy, a chess club. Right as I said that my mom heard him so she said that we have a chess table at home and we could play chess right now if we would like to. We agreed on the idea, and in a few seconds my mom came back with a big chess board, which look brand new, the barely used type of new. We started playing and as we started I realized that I didn't know how the pieces were moving, so I asked Jimmy if he could teach me, and he gladly agreed onto helping me. As my mom, I always was a fast learner so in about 20 minutes we were ready to play. It was kinda intense, because we both were making interesting decisions, which were hard to counter. We ended up making a draw by Jimmy making me not able to move with my king and not giving me check. It was fun, but as we were going to start making one more match, my mom has told me it was getting dark outside and that I was supposed to go to sleep. I told goodbye to Jimmy and went to bed, telling myself ''Now that s time management!''.
