In The House on Mango Street Sandra Cisneros uses simile to enrich the reader's experience. Which of the following offers the best example of this? A. Esperanza finds it strange that the very people who she thinks should be nice to her, are not. B. The author wishes her name was Alexis or Maritza. C. Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking. D. The author and Rachel joke about the fat lady in the street.

The correct answer is C. Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking.

Explanation:

Simile is a common figure of speech, which allows authors to explain an idea by using comparison. This occurs if the speaker compares two objects, people, ideas, etc. by using words such as "like" or "as". In this context, the one that is an example of a simile in The House on Mango Street is "Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking" because if Esperanza says her sister's laughter is like/as the sound of a pile of dishes breaking, the author is using comparison to better explain an idea, which is the sound of a laugh. Moreover, the word likens suggest an explicit word for comparison was used.

What is the meter of this poem?

To views far distant and to scenes more bright,
Along the vale of Time extend thy sight,
Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole,
Wave following wave in long succession roll,
There see, in pomp for ages without end,
The glories of the Western World ascend.
See, this blest land in orient morn appears,
Waked from the slumber of six thousand years,
While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray;
To savage beasts and savage men, a prey.
Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays,
And peace and plenty bless the golden days.
In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise,
Her splendor circling to the boundless skies;
Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms,
The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms.

I need help analyzing this introduction!! Thank you :)

Since the publication of the first novel of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga in 2005, millions of readers
all over the world, the majority of whom are teenage girls and women, have fallen for the love story of
Bella and Edward. Furthered by the release of the movie adaptations of the first three volumes in
2009 and 2010, critics have started to wonder about the foundation of Twilight-mania, especially
concerning the basic theme of the story, namely the vampire myth, which, throughout its literary
history, is rather a reflection of "adolescent male fantasy" (Twitchell, Living 6). Still, the indisputably
kitsny story of an inconspicuous teenager who falls in love with the vampire next door fascinates
today's emancipated and independent females and thus can be regarded as an essential part of the
success. It would seem that the attraction derives from Meyer's unique interweaving of different
generic elements, a strategy which can be found in other late 20th- and 21st-century popular
literature. Thus, for instance, the "Harry Potter books have been received with manic enthusiasm"
because they, too, "uniquely combine several kinds of appeal" (O'Keefe 176), such as the mixture of
public school story and fantasy. In the Twilight Saga, we find a similar amalgamation of various
different literary genres - fantasy fiction for young adults, vampire story, gothic romance, and
Arthurian legend. It is a medley, a generic crossing that is - not least due to its focus on an active
young heroine - bound to entice a primarily female readership.
Through an analysis of the figure of the vampire in literature as well as in folklore it will be observed
to what extent Edward differs from the folkloric blood-sucking revenant and also from the master of all
literary vampires, Dracula. Furthermore, it will be investigated how his knightly behaviour towards
Bella contributes to the impression of a romantic transformation of the gothic form. Special attention
will also be paid to the figure of Bella, who, on the one hand seems to be presented as the femme
fragile or damsel in distress concerning her physicality, but, on the other hand, represents a figure of
identification for female readers as the independent, strong-willed hero of young adult fiction. The
analysis seeks to prove that the combination of these various aspects of different genres and
traditions allows Meyer to create a new kind of vampire love story.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Cutting cane was hard work, but it was nothing like what came next: Piles of freshly cut cane had to be fed into the ever-turning mill wheels, until they were completely crushed. The owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what. The mills were most often tended by women who were doing dangerous work while getting almost no rest. That was a very bad combination. An ax was often propped up near the rollers so if a slave closed her eyes for a second while pushing the cane, her arm could be hacked off before she was pulled through the merciless grinders. Guests at sugar plantations often remarked on how many one-armed people they saw. Day after day, week after week, month after month, the cane was cut, hauled to the mill, and fed through the rollers. The mills kept going as long as there was cane to grind—the season varied between four and ten months, depending on the local growing conditions. A visitor who came to Brazil in 1630 described the scene: "People the color of the very night, working briskly and moaning at the same time without a moment of peace or rest, whoever sees all the confused and noisy machinery . . . will say that this indeed is the image of Hell.” Which text evidence best supports the authors' claim that a frantic pace made working conditions even worse? "The owners insisted that during the work hours the grinding never stop, no matter what." "The mills were most often tended by women who were doing dangerous work while getting almost no rest." "Guests at sugar plantations often remarked on how many one-armed people they saw." “this indeed is the image of Hell”

Lourdes considers herself lucky. Immigration has redefined her, and she is grateful. Unlike her husband, she welcomes her adopted language, its possibilities for reinvention. Lourdes relishes winter most of all—the cold scraping sounds on sidewalks and windshields, the ritual of scarves and gloves, hats and zip-in coat linings. Its layers protect her. She wants no part of Cuba, no part of its wretched carnival floats creaking with lies, no part of Cuba at all, which Lourdes claims never possessed her. Which sentence is an example of magic realism?
