Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you are referring to the passage found in the book "Collections Close Reader: Grade 8."
<u>Explanation:</u>
Remember, a <u>simile</u> is a literary device that compares two things that exactly aren't similar or alike as though they were, in other to give a good description.
For a simile about the narrator: one good example is when read;
<em>"</em><em><u>Chatter like a monkey</u></em><em> when I command adult attention."</em> Here the author uses the expression "Chatterlike a monkey" to depict the talkative nature of the narrator when given attention, just as how a monkey makes noise.
For a simile about the mother: one good example is when read;
<em>"She rises </em><em><u>against the sun like a skyscraper,</u></em><em> and when I draw her in my notebook, she takes up the entire page." </em>The mother's bold and courageous nature is compared to the height of a<em><u> skyscraper.</u></em>

Explanation:
Ms. Wilde is clearly an example of an educator that is a little behind the times. All of her education material is based on the reality (most likely) of the world she lived in while growing up. She fails to realize that she now lives in a multicultural country and must make adjustments accordingly.
The tortilla scene is a perfect example of a lack of multiculturalism. Tortillas are one of the many food that are widely consumed across the United States by both people of Mexican descent and people with not a trace of Mexican descent. Tortillas represent a cultural commodity that has become part of a very 'American' cuisine that is Tex-Mex.
Regardless of the origins of the tortillas, the rejection by the teacher of something she does not eat is closed-mindedness. The assumption that because she does not eat them, neither do the rest of the students is a lack of openness and multiculturalism.
