Read the excerpt from Midsummer by Derek Walcott. With the stampeding hiss and scurry of green lemmings, midsummer’s leaves race

to extinction like the roar of a Brixton riot tunneled by water hoses; they seethe toward autumn’s fire—it is in their nature, being men as well as leaves, to die for the sun. Based on the excerpt, what is the speaker’s perspective on the riot? The speaker thinks that the riot was a mistake. The speaker thinks that the riot was somewhat inevitable. The speaker thinks that the riot should have happened in the fall. The speaker thinks that the riot was entirely preventable.

Which of the following statements is true of archetypal images?
Elodia [21]
A. They relate to ideas expressed by people in many cultures.

It can’t be B because many archetypes are used in poetry. C is incorrect because archetypal images are extremely powerful and easily recognizable around the world. Then D is defiantly incorrect because modern works have begun embracing many of these archetypes. The rebel has become quite popular. Reply if you’d like modern examples of archetypes.

The ovens at McDonald’s look like commercial laundry presses, with big steel hoods that swing down and grill hamburgers on both
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The text's author uses analogical evidence. This kind of argument tries to make whatever it is being explained easier to understand, using comparisons between the object of the text and other object that shares some of it's similarities, but it's somehow more relatable to the reader. In the example, Eric Schlosser tries to explain how the McDonald's ovens work by it's appearance to that of commercial laundry presses.

Finish this simile: English class is like...
Law Incorporation [45]

English class is like receiving presents on your birthday

or

English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.


<span>Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of an English class as you, for instance, one way to convey an idea of what English class is to you, the use of a simile would work well.  If you enjoyed your English class you might compare it to something you know your general audience enjoys and write something like “English class is like receiving presents on your birthday” because of how each day’s knowledge is wonderful surprising experience for you.  If you hated English class, you might write something like English class is like having to sit through a movie you didn’t want to see but will be tested on when it’s over.  As you can see the use of similes make writing more expressively.</span>
