Here, Cathy Song compares a girl’s shoulder to the shape of a hill’s incline using simile:

“and the curve of a shoulder
like the slope of a hill
set deep in snow in a country
of huge white solemn birds.”



Here, the poet compares to dipping of a sleeve to that of a brush in water using simile:

“She dips a corner of her sleeve
like a brush into water
to wipe the mirror;”


Is that the answer you were looking for or no? Or I was I being too literal/broad in looking for simile in the poem?

Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.
vladimir1956 [14]

Hello there,

Why did the author choose to provide this fictional account of Iqbal Masih, who was a real person? Check all that apply.

Story:

My first impression was that he was handsome. Then I thought, No, he isn't really good-looking. But he had such eyes. They were sweet and deep and they weren't afraid. He was standing at the threshold of the workroom with Hussain Khan's enormous hand gripping his arm and we were all looking at him. The fourteen of us child-slaves plus Karim, all observing another slave. He was one of the many who had come and gone over the years, but we felt that somehow, this new boy was different. He looked around at us, one by one. He was sad, of course, like anyone who has been away from home for a long time, like anyone who is little more than a slave, like anyone who can't imagine what will become of him.

Answers:

since some of these details are not known

to interpret and share real events

to bring Iqbal to life through descriptive detail and dialogue

to add details, such as characters' thoughts and feelings, to the story

to engage the reader by sharing his point of view about the topic

Which section of the "volcanoes" page of the Ready.gov website cautions people to be aware of mudflows?
lorasvet [3.4K]

The section of the "volcanoes" page of the Ready.gov website that cautions people to be aware of mudflows is During .The correct answer is D.

On the third point of do's they say and I quote "Avoid areas downwind, and river valleys downstream, of the volcano. Rubble and ash will be carried by wind and gravity.", this can be represented by mudflows.

There are no other parts in the page that talk about that so the other options cannot be correct since they are talking about incorrect segments of information.
