Sonny learns about the sun and the stars.

The way Joe Willow explains the change from day to night, is that when "daddy", in this case the sun, "goes to bed" (sets), "all the little children come out". The "little children" refer to the stars, they are coming out in the sky at night time.

In this excerpt from the short story The Passage by Durango Mendoza, Joe describes the sun and the stars and how they relate to life and death. The "daddy" is referring to the sun, and the "little children" are the stars. The story explores the theme of loss of innocence and mortality, and this passage further conveys these two themes. The sun setting is a metaphor for death. When the sun dies, the stars finally come out. This could be interpreted to mean that a person cannot truly grow up until they experience the loss of a loved one.

MatroZZZ [7]

Read this sentence.
Maslowich

It creates the feeling that New York is a living being.

Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. In the sentence New York is described as having pockets and breathing. It's also described as having a morning and a night. These are all things a living being has. There are no noises besides breathing described, and this is not noisy. The conditions are also not described as being crowded. The tone is not predatory or negative so this also eliminates option B.

Anna [14]

It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye, and vast piles of building full of windows where there was a rattling and a trembling all day long, and where the piston of the steam-engine worked monotonously up and down,

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it;
