Answer:

" I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera. "

Explanation:

Figurative language is one that uses figures of language to express a non-literal sense of what is being said. In this house the phrase "I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera." Is the phrase that presents figurative language in this excerpt.

That's because when the character says he stumbled into "taking pictures with a camera" it does not mean that the character literally stumbled "into taking pictures with a camera," but that means the character did not plan that. The character entered this area accidentally and ended up enjoying it.

AnnZ [28]
Beggar/Odysseus was welcomed in the palace. The suitors gave him enough food for him not to starve, they were reluctant. It was then that Antinous insulted Odysseus/Beggar. Odysseus without thinking about it, had a comeback to the insult Antinous had said. By then Antinous was really angry, and ended up throwing a tantrum. He threw a stool at Odysseus/Beggar, and no one agreed with this action that Antinous took. The news of what Antinous did made way to Penelope, who wasn't happy with Antionous's actions toward the beggar. She then questions the Beggar.

Hope this helped! :)

Explain what the blank pages in Sirian's book signify. Use evidence from the text to support your position. Your answer should b
Nezavi [6.7K]

The Sirian's book was supposed to be written by Micromegas, an inhabitant of a distant planet who was visiting the Earth with a creature he had met in Saturn. He promised the humans of Earth that he would hand them a miniature volume for their convenience, that would contain the nature of everything, so that nobody would have to debate about the ideas of different philosophers anymore.  

However, when the book was opened in the Academy of Science in Paris, the secretary noticed the pages were blank.

This can be interpreted in different ways, as Micromegas was able to make different comparisons in his journey. First, with his Saturnian companion, and then with the small humans of Earth. He had a lot of knowledge, but was also open to learn new things. In the end, he understood that there was more to proportion than size and distance.

After circumnavigating the planet in 36 hours, and listening to the people in the ship, he learned about humanity's ignorance, wars and injustice. He noticed they liked to quote different philosophers, without necessarily understanding what they meant. Most likely, he decided to leave Earthlings to evolve at their own pace, with their own singularities rather than showing them a wisdom of ages that was not theirs.

The blank pages may mean that he wanted humanity to write their own philosophy instead of exposing them to the knowledge of a different planet which was completely different in size, age and wisdom. Having seen human nature with his magnifying glass, the gift of knowledge could be used for evil purposes rather than to their benefit. Last of all, life is complex and no book could be written about humans, except than by humans themselves.

As a senior prefect of your school write a letter to the principal pointing out at least two practices among student that should
vladimir1956 [14]

Dear Principal.

I come through this letter to emphasize attitudes that should be discouraged in our students and encouraged in our teachers, to make the learning process in our school more effective and strengthened, in addition to making the school life more harmonious.

In relation to students, I believe it would be beneficial if the practice of sitting, or even lying down, in the library corridors were prohibited. I have seen that many students tend to do this type of activity, which impairs the circulation of people in the library and can even cause accidents that put both the students and the library's collection at risk. A second practice among students that should be avoided is the use of calculators during classes that involve calculations. This should be avoided because, although the calculator is an efficient tool, it prevents students from being able to understand the calculation and exact it.

Among teachers, I believe it is important to encourage patience, as some of them have been a little impatient when complex concepts are not quickly understood by students. I also believe that they should encourage students to take more notes, as I have noticed that students learn more by copying than by receiving class material by email, or by handouts.

Thank you for your time and ask you to take my recommendations into account.

Graciously,

Mary Smith.

Senior Prefect
