My grandpa is a mountain, Brooding, looming, tall. I stand in his shadow, silent as a stone. Rattling rusty paint cans, He gestu

1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone". 

2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa. 

3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.

Which line is an example of a subjective opinion? It seems that Kahlo’s parents did not care about their daughter. Frida Kahlo’s
Volgvan
<span>The answer to the question is, "It seems that Kahlo's parents did not care about their daughter." This statement is asserting a subjective opinion that is open to interpretation depending on the overall emotion of the reader and author. The other statements, "Frida Kahlo's parents did not visit her in the hospital. The Kahlo family struggled with poverty and other issues. Matita, Frida's sister, came frequently to help at the hospital," are just asserting facts, not opinions.</span>

‘A Slight Misunderstanding’ is an example of humorous narrative essay. Pick out a few humorous instances from the story. WILL MA
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>A Slight Misunderstanding </em>is a light-hearted story by J B Boothroyd where he gives several instances of misunderstanding that occurs between the narrator, a farmer and his wife.

The story begins on a Saturday when the narrator just bought groceries and also there is a mention about a small black car he recently acquired but he mistakenly enters his car and finds a woman's handbag in the chair because she carelessly left it in his car.

He thinks he entered a wrong car because he attracts the attention of the farmer's dog and also the handbag he saw in the car. But eventually he sees the address of his house on the dog's collar.

He gets to the farmer's house and returns the bags and explains his confusion at first but realized he was in the right car when he checked the plate number. The farmer apologizes for his wife's carelessness and offers him a cup of coffee and they both have a good laugh about it.

Another similar case occurred after a social visit with his wife and when they go back to their car, they realized they have really gotten into the wrong car because of the different things in the car.
