So now Della's beautiful hair fell about her rippling and shining like a cascade of brown waters. It reached below her knee and made itself a garment for her.
Identify the figurative language underlined above and explain how it contributes to the theme of the story.

Metaphor; it makes Della's sacrifice all the more precious and meaningful.
Metaphor; it explains why Della is so upset about selling her hair.
Answer:
Simile; it explains why Della is so upset about selling her hair.
Explanation:
According to the passage from "The Gift of the Magi", the narrator describes Stella's hair and how beautiful and long it was and how much Della cared for it.
The figurative language underlined "shining like a cascade of brown waters" is a simile which shows exactly why Della is upset about selling her hair - because it is so beautiful.
The Sun Has Long Been Set
by William Wordsworth
The sun has long been set,
The stars are out by twos and threes,
The little birds are piping yet
Among the bushes and trees;
There's a cuckoo, and one or two thrushes,
And a far-off wind that rushes,
And a sound of water that gushes,
And the cuckoo's sovereign cry
Fills all the hollow of the sky.
Who would "go parading"
In London, "and masquerading,"
On such a night of June
With that beautiful soft half-moon,
And all these innocent blisses?
On such a night as this is!
Summer, an excerpt
by Amy Lowell
Some men there are who find in nature all
Their inspiration, hers the sympathy
Which spurs them on to any great endeavor,
To them the fields and woods are closest friends,
And they hold dear communion with the hills;
The voice of waters soothes them with its fall,
And the great winds bring healing in their sound.
To them a city is a prison house
Where pent up human forces labour and strive,
Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man;
But where in winter they must live until
Summer gives back the spaces of the hills.
To me it is not so. I love the earth
And all the gifts of her so lavish hand:
Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds,
Thick branches swaying in a winter storm,
And moonlight playing in a boat's wide wake;
But more than these, and much, ah, how much more,
I love the very human heart of man.
Above me spreads the hot, blue mid-day sky,
Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake
Lazily reflecting back the sun,
And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze
Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns.
The blue crest of the distant mountain, tops
The green crest of the hill on which I sit;
And it is summer, glorious, deep-toned summer,
The very crown of nature's changing year
When all her surging life is at its full.
To me alone it is a time of pause,
A void and silent space between two worlds,
When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps,
Gathering strength for efforts yet to come.

In your own words how would you describe the difference between a parody and
satire?
Answer:
A parody is a composition that imitates the style of another composition, normally for comic effect and often by applying that style to an outlandish or inappropriate subject. Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a perfect example of parody. Grahame-Smith took Jane Austen's text and introduced zombies into the storyline. Throughout the reworked novel, he maintained Austen's writing style, voice, and even much of the original storyline, creating a new work that is recognizable as being Jane Austen's but that definitely isn't.
difference----------------------------
A satire, on the other hand, is intended to do more than just entertain; it tries to improve humanity and its institutions. A satire is a literary work that tries to arouse the reader's disapproval of an object — a vice, an abuse, a faulty belief — by holding it up to ridicule. Satirists use euphemism, irony, exaggeration, and understatement to show, with a greater or lesser degree of levity, the follies of mankind and the paradoxes and idiocy that they can lead to.Some great examples of satire include George Orwell's Animal Farm, which ridicules the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia; Voltaire's Candide, which attacks the philosophy of Optimism; and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which satirizes the "high-class" tastes, social expectations, and popular philosophies of his time.

Write a paragraph about the theme in the diary of Anne frank and include explanations and examples ?
Need help ASAP
Answer:
Mood: Optimistic, hopeful, joyful.
Paragraph:
Written by Applepi101
Anne maintains an optimistic and joyful mood throughout the book and always has faith in the ability of man to change the world for the better. One quote that shows in the midst of the dark and depressing times she is in, she remains happy is when the book states, “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”. This means to me how although on the surface Frank may be sad, as she writes her sorrows, worries, and agony disappears and hope is born from the ashes. Another quote shows that she appreciates nature is when Anne states, “Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”. This tells us that Anne has learnt to find glory, joy, and beauty in the smallest things, like the diary that Otto Frank, her father, gave her for her birthday. While the world may be in chaos, she can make sense of it all through a pen and paper.

Even the popcorn bags have a warning on them telling you not to. The popcorn setting on many microwaves has only a preset time and no humidity sensor, which means that the microwave can't tell when something's burning.

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
[ANTONY.] For Brutus is an honourable man,
So are they all, all honourable men—
Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me.
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honourable man.
How is the word honourable used in the context of Antony’s speech?
It is used as a public expression of praise toward Brutus.
It is used as a negative and ironic word to describe Brutus.
It is used to show Brutus that Antony thinks more highly of him than Antony does of Cassius.
It is used to explain how necessary and noble both the conspirators’ cause and Caesar’s death were

Which answer choice is an example of a slippery slope logical fallacy
in "Smarter Without Smartphones"?
Hello. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for me to give you a specific answer, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.
A logical fallacy is one that presents an argument that seems correct, but it is false, it does not present evidence that the reasoning to create it was correct and true.
In "Smarter Without Smartphones" we can see an example of a logical fallacy in the phrase "Students who use cell phones in school will lack needed social skills later in life." This fallacy is called Argumentum ad consequentiam, where the author makes an appeal to an ill-justified consequence. In this case, the author states that the lack of social skills will be a consequence of the use of cell phones at school, however, the author does not present any data that proves that this actually happens.
How can scientists be certain that nuclear fusion is not occurring on the outer gas giants?
A. These planets are not rocky
B. These planets do not contain enough gases to produce energy
C. These planets are too large to produce energy
D. These planets do not produce energy,
Answer: D. These planets do not produce energy,
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion leads to the production of energy and when energy is produced on a planetary scale, it radiates. Scientists have not picked up any energy coming from the gas giants which means that they do not produce energy which gives us proof that there is no nuclear fusion occurring on them.
A planet being rocky is not a prerequisite for nuclear fusion to occur which rules out the first option. The sun has more gas volume than these gas giants yet produces energy so the second option is wrong as well. The third option is also incorrect because the sun is many times larger than the gas giants yet initiates nuclear fusion.

Read the passage from the opinion of the court in Dred Scott v. Sandford, written by Justice Taney.
The question then arises, whether the provisions of the Constitution, in relation to the personal rights and privileges to which the citizen of a State should be entitled, embraced the negro African race, at that time in this country, or who might afterwards be imported, who had then or should afterwards be made free in any State; and to put it in the power of a single State to make him a citizen of the United States, and endue him with the full rights of citizenship in every other State without their consent? Does the Constitution of the United States act upon him whenever he shall be made free under the laws of a State, and raised there to the rank of a citizen, and immediately clothe him with all the privileges of a citizen in every other State, and in its own courts?
The court thinks the affirmative of these propositions cannot be maintained. And if it cannot, the plaintiff in error could not be a citizen of the State of Missouri, within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States, and, consequently, was not entitled to sue in its courts.
Why is Justice Taney’s argument ineffective?
He uses the freedom of African Americans as evidence.
He uses a previous status of African Americans as evidence.
He uses the dissenting argument of the court as evidence.
He uses the ruling of the previous court as evidence.
5
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Taney cannot deny Scott citizenship because it is a federal right.
Before the civil war, only white men with property could vote, and only white people could be United States citizens. African Americans that were born in the United States territory are all citizens, by the The 14th Amendment (1868). So a perfect counterclaim to the claim in the excerpt would be the chosen one because his citizenship is a Federal right by The 14th Amendment.
