Read the excerpt below from the poem “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke and answer the question that follows.Let seed be grass, and grass turn into hay:
I’m martyr to a motion not my own;
What’s freedom for? To know eternity.
I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.
But who would count eternity in days?
These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:
(I measure time by how a body sways).

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: I think the answer is the last line which is "I swear she cast a shadow as white as stone.". When you say simile, you are comparing two different things. It can be easily seen with the use of preposition like "as" and "like". In this excerpt, you are comparing the white shadow and stone, which are two different things. You can also see the preposition "as" in between the two objects.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" suggest that the author’s tone is mocking?The blue-clad player struck several chords upon his lyre, and then burst suddenly out into the “Ode of Niobe.” Policles sat straight up on his bench and gazed at the stage in amazement. The tune demanded a rapid transition from a low note to a high, and had been purposely chosen for this reason. The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog. Then suddenly the singer threw up his face, straightened his tubby figure, rose upon his tiptoes, and with wagging head and scarlet cheeks emitted such a howl as the same dog might have given had his growl been checked by a kick from his master. All the while the lyre twanged and thrummed, sometimes in front of and sometimes behind the voice of the singer. But what amazed Policles most of all was the effect of this performance upon the audience. Every Greek was a trained critic, and as unsparing in his hisses as he was lavish in his applause. Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform.

Which phrase best describes the character of the young narrator in the memoir "A Cub Pilot"

Answers

The phrase that best describes the character of the young narrator in the memoir "A Cub Pilot" is "I knew how an emancipated slave feels; for I was an emancipated slave myself."
A cub pilot is a "learner" pilot. The narrator was a cub pilot on a steamboat on the Missippi river. He was apprenticed to a pilot by the name of Brown. Brown treated him badly. One day the cub pilot's brother came up and gave Brown orders from the ship's captain. Brown did not hear the orders as he was deaf and expected the cub pilot to tell the captain that his brother had not given him his orders. The cub pilot gave an honest account of what had happened. Brown chased his brother out of the pilot house and picked up a lump of coal to throw at his brother. The cub pilot picked up a stool and hit Brown hard. He was then hauled before the captain of the steamboat for fighting. Instead of being sent to jail, as he expected, the captain did not send him to jail. He was glad that the cub pilot had hit Brown. In conclusion, the cub pilot was so relieved that he felt as though he was an emancipated slave.

Many Harlemites viewed the club owners' act of __________ as unfair.a. not using African-American musicians
c. barring people of their own race
b. raising their prices
d. refusing to serve white customers
Please select the best answer from the choices provided

Answers

Many Harlemites viewed the club owners' act of "barring people of their own race" as unfair, since black musicians were in high demand in the clubs but could not enter as patrons. 

Answer:

c. Barring people of their own race.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes' short essay/ story of "When the Negro was in Vogue" details his opinions of when Harlem used to be the property of the colored people. But now, more and more white people came at night, crowding their bars and cabarets after sundown. He points out that many Harlemites did not find the acts of club owners denying their own people, black people, admission in their bars as fair. Rather, it should be that they support and encourage the development of their own people instead of welcoming the whites. The blacks do not vocally say out that the whites' bars and places were never disturbed or overtaken by the blacks so why should they come into their town and mingle with them? But Hughes claims that "Negroes are practically never rude to  white people" so they silently act along with whatever the situation was.
