Can u please identify 1 metaphor and 1 similie from this poem?Closed Doors by: Jane KirbyI cry myself to sleep at night Just wishing it would stop. Maybe tomorrow it will cease. Then again, maybe not. You push me and you poke me. You call me hurtful names. To me, it's like a prison. To you, it's fun and games. Your heart is made of ice, But it doesn't even deserve that. Mine was once a rainbow, But you have molded it to the darkest black. I hate you; I hate everyone. There is no one I can trust. Are you proud of what you've done? You've turned my soul into dust. I wish there were a door I could open, A simple path I could tread. I don't want to be stuck here forever In this endless spiral of dread.

What is sentence?

A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought or idea. It typically contains a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject is doing or what is being said about the subject). A well-formed sentence follows grammatical rules and can stand alone as a coherent statement.

The connective "Finally" best completes the sentence, indicating the sequence of events. The sentence would read: "She left the party early. Afterwards, she went to a movie. Finally, she went home."

Thus, the correct answer is: B. Finally

I think the blank is an audience, because if your writing a PERSUASIVE essay, your trying to persuade a specific audience to agree with you on an opinion or trying to complete a certain action, so D makes the most sense, in my mind at least

Which two of these excerpts from Homer’s Odyssey depict the gods’ involvement in mortal affairs? (Pick two of the best choices)“But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”

Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:
"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!
Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,
Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."

Cylenius now to Pluto's dreary reign
Conveys the dead, a lamentable train!
The golden wand, that causes sleep to fly,
Or in soft slumber seals the wakeful eye,
That drives the ghosts to realms of night or day,
Points out the long uncomfortable way.

Now sat Ulysses at the rural feast
The rage of hunger and of thirst repress'd:
To watch the foe a trusty spy he sent:
A son of Dolius on the message went,
Stood in the way, and at a glance beheld
The foe approach, embattled on the field.

What real-life situation was Jonathan Swift satirizing in Gulliver’s Travels?
Read the paragraph. Keeping my mind on my writing is not easy when I stay at my grandmother's ocean-side cottage. Just about the time that I am going along pretty well, I glance out the window and see two huge bald eagles swooping and tumbling in a spectacular aerial display. Naturally, I have to leave my desk and rush to the doorway to watch the performance as long as it lasts. Then, as if a conspiracy were trying to keep me from working, two otters poke their shiny heads out of the water and hang there motionless. They watch to see what I am doing. As soon as I return to my desk, seagulls wheel into my window view and screech as they search for scraps of food. Within minutes this confusion of sounds stirs my aging St. Bernard out of a deep sleep and he hauls his massive, lumbering body over to be petted.
