Identify each highlighted example from Helen Keller's memoir as a simile or a metaphor_
"I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself."
"My mother's only ray of hope came from Dickens's 'American Notes."

Answers

Answer:

The first sentence contains a simile while the second sentence has a metaphor.

Explanation:

Simile and metaphor are figures of speech that compare different things to each other with the purpose of vividly describing a similar characteristic between them. The difference between both figures of speech is that the simile makes the comparison by using words such as "like" or "as". The metaphor, on the other hand, does not use such words. Study the examples below to better visualize the difference:

Simile: Your eyes are like stars.

Metaphor: Your eyes are stars.

In both of the sentences above, someone's eyes are being compared to stars, which probably means they are big and bright. However, the first sentence relies on the word "like" to establish the comparison, therefore constituting a simile. The second sentence does not, forming a metaphor.

Having that in mind:

"I felt as if invisible hands were holding me, and I made frantic efforts to free myself."  - We have a simile here. The speaker uses "as if" to compare her feeling to hands holding her. She probably had a feeling of being restrained.

"My mother's only ray of hope came from Dickens's 'American Notes." - No one literally has a ray of hope. There is no such thing in the natural world. However, a ray is something the shines, that makes a dark place brighter. We can attribute such idea to the feeling of hope - it makes dark and difficult situations look brighter, better. Since there are no words such as "like" or "as", what we have here is a metaphor.

Answer:

Similes include "like" and/or "as". While a metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. So in this case the first one would be "simile" and the second would be "as".

Guys I have this question is the media bias about Greta Thunberg betraying her mother BC of climate change

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

"The haters are as active as ever", the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist posted on social media on Thursday, "going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behaviour and my differences". Anything, she says, rather than talk about the climate crisis.

It hasn't stopped her from campaigning. On Friday, she led another of her climate strikes, heading up a huge demonstration in Montreal, demanding international aviation does more to cut its carbon footprint.

But she is clearly very annoyed, accusing critics of "crossing every line to avert the focus" with, what she calls, lies and conspiracy theories.

Of course, the attention isn't surprising. Over the past year, Greta Thunberg has arguably done more to galvanise global action on climate than any other single individual.

And there is no question the unnerving power of her rhetoric comes in part from the fact that she is so young.

Thunberg to leaders: 'You've failed us on climate'

UN panel signals red alert on 'Blue Planet'

Climate change 'accelerating', say scientists

Content is not available

A key reason her "How dare you!" message hit home so hard in the UN this week was because she seemed so jarringly out of place in the air-conditioned formality of the UN's New York HQ.

It is unusual for young people to hold the adult world to account so forcefully and so publicly and some people clearly don't like it.

She certainly did that on Monday when she accused world leaders of "stealing my dreams and my childhood", and warned them that "the eyes of all future generations are upon you. And, if you choose to fail us, I say: 'We will never forgive you'".

So, how about her mental health? And, while we're about it, does anyone have the right to comment on it? What's so impressive about Thunberg is how clear-headed she is on the urgent need for action in the light of the science.

Understandably, Thunberg particularly resents her mental capacity being called into question. "Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions - it's facts", she said this week.

She acknowledges that she was very unhappy in the past, but says that championing the climate issue has helped lift her out of despair.

"It makes me feel good that I'm not alone in this fight," she told me, "and it feels like my life has some kind of meaning lately and I feel that what I am doing is meaningful."

She's famously described her Asperger's as a "superpower", allowing her to cut through the noise and see to the heart of the issue.

Media caption"You are failing us" - Greta tells world leaders

Dr James Cusack, director of science at the autism charity, Autistica, says she's been a really important role model for others with the condition. "Her brave, clear-minded and science-led approach to activism is inspiring for many people," he says.

And, while Thunberg is sometimes emotional about her cause she says that's because she's appalled and frustrated that the world isn't doing enough to tackle climate change.

She has the full support of her family. Her father, Svante Thunberg, is travelling in America with her - and shared the privations on her transatlantic voyage. Her mother and younger sister, Beata, stayed in Sweden.

She's no plans to stop campaigning any time soon.

These coming months are crucial, she told me, if the world is going to manage to keep the global temperature increase below 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Emissions have to start reducing before the end of next year, she warns, or we are likely to pass tipping points leading to uncontrolled climate change.

Yet, last year global carbon emissions increased by 2.7%, hitting a record high of 37.1bn tonnes.

Thunberg was upset by the response of the world leaders in the UN HQ this week. They politely applauded her speech but had no new initiatives that would significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and most also failed to acknowledge either her message or the fact that millions of people had taken to the streets to demand action just days before.

So, climate action remains very much a work in progress for Thunberg, despite her critics.

"I guess they must feel threatened by us," she wrote this week. "But the world is waking up."

Answers

The poster will be made in colors that attract people's attention. That way they will be curious about the flashy ad and try to find out what the poster is advertising. In this case, we will use colors like red, orange, black and royal blue. In the background we use embarrassed and paler images (making a kind of transition) of characters in poses that refer to folk dances, thus relating the poster to the theme of the presentation.

At the top of the poster, the phrase "Folkloric dance demonstration event" will be written centrally and using capital letters, then the place where the event will be held and the date of the event will be written.

In the center of the poster, in a centralized form and using capital letters in large size will be written ‘Colors of life’, the name of the event.

At the bottom of the poster, using lower case letters, will have information about the event organizers and how to participate in the event.

Which summary correctly describes the second half of Antigone?
1. Haemon and Creon get into an argument and have a huge falling out. Haemon decides to leave Thebes, along with his mother, Queen
Eurydice. Antigone tries to convince her fiancé, Haemon, to forgive his father by telling him that family is the most important thing. Haemon
follows Antigone's advice and reconciles with his father. Creon is touched and humbled by Antigone's graciousness and forgives her for
defying his order and burying Polyneices. The play ends with Antigone and Haemon happily married and ready to become the new king and
queen of Thebes.
2. Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon
dismisses him and decrees that instead of sentencing Antigone to death, he will entomb her. Antigone puts up a brave face before being
entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she
has killed herself, and he witnesses Haemon stabbing himself. This news reaches Queen Eurydice, who also stabs herself in a fit of grief.
Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
3. Haemon informs Creon that if Antigone has to die because of his unjust law, he will die with her. This announcement distresses Creon, but
he feels that Haemon is merely threatening him. He's shocked to find Haemon dead in his chambers the next morning. Haemon's death
greatly grieves Queen Eurydice, who soon after stabs herself in the heart. Creon is in deep anguish and realizes how blind he was. To honor
his wife and son's memory, he forgives Antigone. The play ends with Antigone becoming the first female ruler of Thebes. She looks after
Creon like she would have looked after her own father.
4. Haemon lends his father, Creon, his full support after Creon decides to sentence Haemon's fiancée, Antigone, to death. Ismene comes to
Haemon to beg for her sister's life, but Haemon dismisses her. Ismene decides that the only way to save her sister's life is for Haemon and
Antigone to elope. But Antigone refuses to be a coward and run away. She bravely faces the consequences of her actions. The Theban
citizens lament her terrible fate. Isméne cannot bear the thought of living without her sister, who is her last surviving family member, and
poisons herself. The play ends with both the sisters dead and Oedipus' bloodline entirely destroyed.
