Allegory and Simile

Gee i dont know

A simile is a figure of speech comparison which uses a connecting word such as like, as, so, than, or certain verbs such as resembles. So with that in mind, here are some examples:

The small intestine is like a long, small hose.

The small intestine curls around the inside of the body like a snake.

You know how Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally help the kids trapped in the burning church? Well, leading up to that event, characters are described with a temperature. For example, Darry's eyes are described as ice cold, like some of the other characters' descriptions, while others' have blazing eyes or personalities.

Also, in another part of the book, Ponyboy wonders what it's like inside a burning ember. During the rescue at the church, he mentions that he now knows what it is like to be in one.

A Tosher is the name given to someone who scavenges in sewers, especially in Victorian Britain.

This wonderful activity began around the time of the construction of the sewers in London by Joseph Bazelgette.

As you can imagine these people were not very acceptable to society, and especially their neighbours. Apparently it was very common to see a complete family remove a manhole cover, and disappear into the sewers, where they could find quite rich pickings.

One lucky side-effect of this wonderful job, was that toshers, or those toshers who survived, built up a very strong resistance to typhus and other diseases of the ghettos.

The phrase 'a load of old tosh' did in fact enter the English language though 'toshing'

the job of a tosher.

The word tosher was also used to describe the thieves who stripped copper from the hulls of ships moored in the Thames.

One interesting little footnote, Peter Bazelgette, great great grandson of Joseph Bazelgette, is a producer of Big Brother, so it could be said that the family is still dealing with manure.

A fable is kinda like a myth or made up story for pleasure, while a parable is a made up story told to teach a lesson.

A fable has talking animals. There is only one fable in the bible. Baal and his mule.

Shadows are not totally black because some light gets into the shadow area from reflection of light from objects around the area, and even from dust in the air around the shadow zone.

The Faerie Queen is an allegory for the Bible

Well, I'm the same perosn who posted this. I'm 13 and I'm a girl and I'm 5'1. I so badley want more than anything in the world to become 5'8 someday to pursue my dreams. My mom is only 5'1-5'2 and my dad is from 5'11-6'0. My dad's side of the family is tall, my aunt is 5'10. I have big feet (about 7 1/2), long legs, and long arms, i have a fast metabolism, and I have long fingers and pretty big palms. Some say my hands look like a tall person's hands. I'm just scared because most people in my grade have stopped growing is what they said and they're about my age, but I'm the only girl in my grade that's not fully "developed" yet. I drink a lot of milk and try to sleep as long as I can. But mostly your height is from genetics, but I can tell I gotten most of my genetics on my mom's side but I just hope I got my height from my dad's. I always ask my dad how tall my aunt used to be at my age but he doesn't remember, all he said is that they were slow growers. I want to know if there's someone out there that can help me or can tell me their story if they used to be short and became tall. But I think my body somewhat resembles that of Paris Hilton's who is 5'8, her body structure looks similar to mine except I'm 5'1. I also haven't gotten my growth spurt yet, I hope that's a sign.

It generally means if you have the chills from a cold or flu your 'teeth can chatter' (knock together.) Chatter can also mean that a person you know has 'annoying chatter' (always talking, but not really saying anything of importance.)

Many similes were utilized by advocates of the Protestant Reformation, not just one, in their efforts to purify the Christian Faith: they likened the traditional authorities to blind persons, to crazy persons, to drunkards, to thieves, to demonic figures -- some even saw the Pope as 'like the Anti-Christ'; or, as Martin Luther sometimes claimed, the Pope was simply described as the Anti-Christ. In respect to the Protestant Reformation as an entire movement, several similes can be applied: it is (or, was) like the diversion of a river from one into many channels; or, it was like a mutiny aboard a ship that led to the formation of a new crew, a new ship, a new set of on-board rules, and much more, even if the same destination was still being sought.

That's called the "MAC address" or "Hardware address". It's a unique set of numbers assigned to a network device. Anything that access the internet whether phones, wireless cards, computers, etc, all have a MAC address.

The address with all one's (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF) is the broadcast address. All devices on the physical segment will see and respond to a message with that destination.

The phrase seems to have originated in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", The Cooks Tale, line 44: There lived a 'prentice, once, in our city,
And of the craft of victuallers was he;
Happy he was as goldfinch in the glade,
Brown as a berry, short, and thickly made,
With black hair that he combed right prettily. Now I didn't find anyone who claimed to know what berry Chaucer had in mind. I'm going to make a guess that he was using some obsolete meaning for berry to speak of grain. Whole, unground grains are sometimes referred to as berries, such as wheatberry. The dictionary.net definition of "berry" is a coffee bean, so "brown as a berry" could mean "brown as a coffee bean." However, if indeed Chaucer is the origin of the phrase, toasted wheatgrains are more likely than coffee beans, since Europeans in Chaucer's time did not have coffee beans.
