Explanation:
I think its a metaphor
Answer:
Explanation:
Figurative language is to a writer what a paintbrush is to an artist. That is, you can use it to take something simple or flat and transform it into something multidimensional. Figurative language has the ability to be more impactful than literal writing; it can expand readers' interpretations and broaden their imaginings. Learn what figurative language is and get definitions of the different types of figurative language.Figurative language adds color, touch, and feelings to your writing. It takes the reader to a place where they can use all their senses to understand the work. In its most basic definition, figurative language is the use of different literary devices to make writing more impactful or effective.
alliteration - Alliteration helps writers punch points home by repeating the same sound (usually a consonant) of the first or second letter in a series of words. It tends to catch the reader's eye.
The professor praised his pupil's flowery prose.
hyperbole - When a writer exaggerates something - typically in a humorous way - it's known as hyperbole.
My eyes widened at the sight of the mile-high sundaes that were brought to our table.
metaphor - A metaphor is a comparison between two things. They don't necessarily have to be alike, but they should make a link in the reader's mind.
Nobody invites Edward to parties because he is a wet blanket.
personification - When something non-human is given human-like qualities, this is known as personification.
The leaves danced in the wind on the cold October afternoon.
simile - A simile is a direct comparison between two things, using like or as.
Jamie runs as fast as the wind.
symbolism - Symbolism occurs when something that has one meaning is used to represent something entirely different. For example, using an image of the American flag to represent patriotism.The man proudly flew his flag on the 4th of July.

Why should the announcement of a third supply intake for Las Vegas water cause concern?
This question is about "Las Vegas Completing Last Straw to Draw Lake Mead Water"
Answer:
The announcement is of concern because it includes drilling activities on the ground, which can cause geological problems that cause unexpected and bad results for Las Vegas and the surrounding region.
Explanation:
It is a fact that the supply of drinking water in Las vegas and surrounding areas is a concern that deserves attention. To address these problems, several supply strategies have been established, however, the third water supply, which is what was discussed in the article, is the one that is of most concern because it involves excavation activities at meters and meters deep.
As we know, excavation activities are dangerous, as they can not only generate geological problems, but also awaken existing problems that will cause more problems to the population.
It can be deduced that the announcement is of concern because it includes drilling activities on the ground which is bad for the environment.
What is an inference?It should be noted that an inference simply means the conclusion that can be deduce from the evidence given.
In this case, the announcement of a third supply intake for Las Vegas water cause concern because it includes drilling activities on the ground which is bad for the environment.

Read this excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered.
I just sat there, frozen. I'd lost track of time. At some point the two workers from downstairs in the workplace came up to me and said that they were so sorry, that they hadn't known. Then Van Matto came and said something, and I saw that the Austrian had given him the keys that he had taken from me. I can't imagine where the time had gone. First, it had been eleven or twelve o'clock when the Dutch Nazi had come. Then it must have been about one-thirty when I'd heard the footsteps on the inner stairway. Then, suddenly, Elli was back, and Henk had arrived, and I realized that it was five o'clock and the day had passed.
Why does Miep feel this way?
She is relieved that the frightening officers have left.
She is shocked and disappointed by the day’s events.
She is overwhelmed by her work at Mr. Frank’s office.
She is scared by the threats of the Austrian officer.

THE JUNK
In a non-descript town, Adam sat across a chair in a bar sipping whiskey and looking for a su cker who he can make a quick cash off. Adam has always been the rough, brawny type who has never done any honest job in his life, because according to him, the only money to be made was easy money.
As Adam was thinking, a man and woman walked into the bar and appeared to be arguing about something. He ignored them, even though he noted the girl was good looking, but he resumed his solemn thoughts as he ordered a refill.
The man came and sat two chairs away from Adam and ordered a glass of bourbon while the girl stormed out after another argument. Two drinks later and the man was already drunk and was talking his head off to Adam. He was on a treasure hunt with the girl and they discovered some worthless junk, but from the description, Adam immediately realized that what the man found was very valuable indeed.
Adam persuaded the man to show him where it was and when he saw it and confirmed his suspicion, he immediately offered $50 for the 'junk' so the man wouldn't get suspicious and after some haggling he parted with $60 for the 'junk'. Adam could scarcely believe his luck as the 'junk' was actually worth over $6,000 and went home happily, whistling. No better money to make than easy money.

Reread "The Emancipation Proclamation, excerpt":
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION.
I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States of America, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy thereof, do hereby proclaim and declare that hereafter, as heretofore, the war will be prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relation between the United States, and each of the States, and the people thereof, in which States that relation is, or may be, suspended or disturbed.
That it is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave States, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits; and that the effort to colonize persons of African descent, with their consent, upon this continent, or elsewhere, with the previously obtained consent of the Governments existing there, will be continued.
That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free; and the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their actual freedom.
That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the United States; and the fact that any State, or the people thereof shall, on that day be, in good faith represented in the Congress of the United States, by members chosen thereto, at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of such State shall have participated, shall, in the absence of strong countervailing testimony, be deemed conclusive evidence that such State and the people thereof, are not then in rebellion against the United States.
That attention is hereby called to an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to make an additional Article of War" approved March 13, 1862, and which act is in the words and figure following:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That hereafter the following shall be promulgated as an additional article of war for the government of the army of the United States, and shall be obeyed and observed as such:
Article —. All officers or persons in the military or naval service of the United States are prohibited from employing any of the forces under their respective commands for the purpose of returning fugitives from service or labor, who may have escaped from any persons to whom such service or labor is claimed to be due, and any officer who shall be found guilty by a court-martial of violating this article shall be dismissed from the service.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That this act shall take effect from and after its passage."
In a paragraph of 3-5 complete sentences, answer the following question: What is the purpose of this document and why did Lincoln write it? Be sure to use evidence from the text to support your answer.
Previous attempts to locate and publish Lincoln documents include Nicolay and Hay's 1905 Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, consisting of 12 volumes; Gilbert A. Tracy and Francis H. Allen’s 1917 Uncollected Letters of Abraham Lincoln; Rufus Rockwell Wilson’s 1947 Uncollected Works of Abraham Lincoln: His Letters, Addresses and Other Papers; and Paul Angle's 1930 New Letters and Papers of Lincoln.
In the 1930s, the Abraham Lincoln Association began collecting photostats of Lincoln documents and by 1945 began drafting plans that eventually culminated in The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln, edited by Roy P. Basler, Marion Dolores Pratt, and Lloyd A. Dunlap. It was published in 8 volumes (plus an index) between 1953 and 1955, with two supplemental volumes published in 1974 and 1990.
Basler’s Collected Works has become a standard resource for Lincoln and Civil War scholarship, but it suffers from limitations and omissions. Collected Works did not include incoming correspondence to Lincoln, which denies the reader important context. New technology and the development of documentary editing as a discipline allows for more faithful renditions of the texts. And in the nearly 60 years since the publication of Collected Works, many new Lincoln documents have been discovered, providing new opportunities for historical scholarship.With these reasons likely in mind, Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald assessed, "Though Roy Basler and his associates did an excellent job of editing Lincoln's writings a generation ago, I believe that it is time for a new, complete, updated edition of his works."

what is the theme for "that could have been you" by jim heynen
Answer:
he is a really good Authur
The themes for the short story "That Could Have Been You" are danger and fearlessness.
The story depicts all the different ways that proves being on the farm could be dangerous to the boys. The story remains vague, however, about who the boys are and what farm it is they are supposed to be on.
We only know that there are boys who are on a farm, and the potential dangers they face just by being on it. These dangers are:
Getting drowned, Getting injured by hailstones, Getting injured by an animal, Getting crushed by a collapsed building or caught in a tornadoHowever, despite knowing the dangers are real, several narrow escapes the boys had from serious danger, and even suffering rather bad injuries, the boys remain fearless about it all.
They know they could be the ones missing fingers, or an arm, or they could be the ones getting impaled by falling icicles, but the promise of new days ahead and the potential adventures they could have in them makes them fearless about all the dangers that they know exist on the farm.
Therefore, the short story centres around the themes of danger and fearlessness a group of boys experience by being on the farm.
