metaphor
a figure of speech that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't similar, but they have some characteristics in common.
A example would be You are a light of my life (it doesn't mean that something is literary light to someone, no one can provide physical light. This metaphor means that someone brings happiness to another one).
it creates an image of how miserable Negro men and women were, how they endured their hard lives, so that decided to rise in a protest. The mood is tense at first, then it creates an uplifting mood, full of strength to fight the injustice.
use of these metaphors helped a writer to depict creatively and interestingly about the feelings and life of men and women. It helped to create a strong image in the readers

In the excerpt at the right, Odysseus has been offered a meal by Circe, an enchantress who has turned a group of his men into pigs. What do you learn about Odysseus from these
lines? What values does he represent?

Here are some ways you can use or misuse it. Put them in appropriate columns.
1) Use only as much water as you require
2) Close the tap lightly after use,
3) Throw garbage near water source when on picnic.

5) Wash your vehicle in rivers or ponds.
Don is
Do's
Answer:
Do's:
1) Use only as much water as you require;
4) Organize tree plantation activities.
Don'ts:
2) Close the tap lightly after use;
3) Throw garbage near water source when on picnic;
5) Wash your vehicle in rivers or ponds.
Explanation:
Whatever the activity - washing our car or watering the plants, for instance - we must avoid wasting water. We should only use as much water as is really needed. One way to make sure of that is by avoiding using hoses, for instance, and using buckets instead. Tree plantation activities are crucial when it comes to helping the planet. We all know the importance of trees to help renew the oxygen in the atmosphere and provide humidity as well as a place of living for other species of plants and animals. Having that in mind, we can choose options 1 and 4 to be placed under the column Do's.
On the other hand, we should not close the tap lightly, because it might leak. We should close it tightly instead. Also, throwing garbage near water sources is a sure way of contaminating such sources. The same goes for washing your vehicle in rivers or ponds. Therefore, options 2, 3 and 5 should all be place in the column Don'ts.
Read the excerpt from "The Legacy of Billy Mason." The pages of the scrapbook were filled with clippings from newspapers, and they were all about Billy Mason and his team—the games they played and the plays he made. At the very end there was an article about Billy himself, how he was hardworking and courageous and how, in his rookie year, he was injured in a home-plate collision. He held onto the ball, won the game, and never played again. He took one for the team. Billy closed the scrapbook. This was his father's scrapbook, left here in his grandmother’s house. Catcher Billy Mason was his father's hero. He had given his son his hero’s name as a kind of legacy. Billy held the scrapbook in his hands as he went downstairs to have his first real conversation with Grandma M. Compared with Billy, Billy's father would have most likely reacted to finding the scrapbook by becoming angry. proud. scared. anxious.

Describe the events Meg undergoes with Aunt Beast, the creature that takes her from Mr. Murry.
Answer:
Meg leans against the soft, furry chest of one of the beasts and feels warm and secure. The beasts rub something warm over her body, clothe her in fur, and serve her something "completely and indescribably delicious." She begins talking with one of the beasts, who encourages Meg to think of an appropriate name for her. After dismissing "mother," "father," "acquaintance," and "monster," Meg settles on the epithet "Aunt Beast." Meg tries to explain light and vision to Aunt Beast, who has no eyes. At the creature's urging, Meg falls into a deep sleep and wakes up feeling wonderfully rested.

Motivational speech on "The hard work of teachers during lockdown" (100-190)
Answer:
In 2020, the world has suffered from a terrible pandemic which goes by the name Corona Virus. Lives of all people were turned upside down. Governments imposed lock downs all around the globe. At that time, teachers showed tremendous resilience and determination and taught their students diligently. Most of them were not familiar with the new way of teaching that was required, via video conferencing.
Teachers made sure to perform their duties even in the the most difficult of the situations the world has ever faced and came out victorious. The least we could do is show appreciation towards their hard work.
Can someone help write a monologue please (character:-motherEarth)she is basically talking about how people on earth are causing climate change..
Answer and Explanation:
MOTHER EARTH: You sprung from me ages ago – my children, my offspring, my flesh. I raised you, took care of you, fed you, gave you shelter. I taught you, through my own phenomena, how to better yourselves and your lives. I taught you to make fire. I taught you to build dams. I taught you to grow crops, to tame animals, to stop hunting. I taught you to build houses and live in communities. I watched, filled with pride, as you evolved, treading upon my own skin. If only I had known what you were capable of. Did I underestimate you? Or did I make myself blind to your ambitions because I loved you so much? Fire, water, wood… they became your weapons. Perhaps, at first, you were unaware of the consequences. Maybe you did not understand you were hurting me. The smoke, the residues, they were side-effects of your progress. You believed I would take care of it all - that pollution would magically disappear in my entrails. But you can no longer claim to be ignorant. You can no longer hurt me unknowingly. Oh, you do know! You can see it now – feel it. You can watch as I slowly die and take you with me. You can feel my fragile balance collapsing, tragically, rapidly. You exploded me, dirtied me, broke me. My own children are my killers.

According to the article what happened before ptolemy wrote his almagest
Throughout history, humans have looked to the stars for answers. It's likely that stargazing gave rise to the science of astronomy, possibly the oldest science known to humankind. As civilizations advanced, they became more dependent on understanding the patterns and cycles of celestial bodies. Farmers relied upon astrological calendars to plant and harvest their crops; sailors steered across vast oceans using celestial maps. Modern astronomy owes much to the ancient civilizations of the past. In fact, the roots of astronomy can be traced to somewhere around 4000 B.C., when the oldest astronomical observations ever recorded took place in both Egypt and Central America. Also important were the ancient civilizations of China and Mesopotamia. They developed solar and lunar calendars that date
back to 2000 B.C. Equally, the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through
a process of logic and observation. Ptolemy's Almagest, written around 150 A.D., forever affixed the mathematical approach to astronomy. However, he theorized that the solar system was geocentric, meaning that the Earth was the center of the solar system. Hundreds of years later, during the Renaissance, a Polish-born astronomer named Copernicus published his On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres in 1543 A.D. In this work he held that the solar system was in fact heliocentric, meaning that the Sun—not the Earth—was the center of the solar system. More than a century later, in 1687 A.D., Sir Isaac Newton, a founder of modern astronomy, published his theory of universal gravitation. Not until the twentieth century would the scientific community again alter its understanding of the universe through the works of Albert Einstein.
According to the article, what happened before Ptolemy wrote his Almagest?
A. Albert Einstein changed universal theory in the twentieth century.
B. Sir Isaac Newton altered universal theory in the seventeenth century.
C. Copernicus wrote his On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres.
D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics
Answer:
D. The Greeks formed an approach to science based on mathematics.
Explanation:
From the article, it can be seen that before the Plotemy wrote his Almagest, "The Greeks formed am approach to science based on mathematics."
This is evident when the article says "the ancient Greeks made great advances in the science of astronomy. Their approach to science was based on mathematical models and calculations. They explained natural events through a process of logic and observation."
