What does William Wordsworth mean by "Continuous as the stars that shine" in the following bolded lines? (5 points)

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

CONTINUOUS AS THE STARS THAT SHINE
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Wordsworth preferred stars to flowers.

Wordsworth had been studying space.

The daffodils seemed to go on forever.

The daffodils were as white as stars.

Explanation:

The most obvious figure of speech in this extract is the simile. A simile compares one thing to another by straightforwardly describing it as being "like" or "as" the other thing. In this case, Wordsworth is comparing the continuity, or endlessness, of the daffodils to the continuity of stars in the Milky Way. He particularly refers to the Milky Way because the reader will probably recognize this as a particularly dense band of stars; therefore, we imagine the daffodils to be as populous and vivid as these stars.

Wordsworth also uses some particularly evocative language—"shine" being insufficient to convey what he sees before him, he also notes that the stars "twinkle"—to create more vivid imagery. We can picture in our minds how stars twinkle and seem to wink; likewise, the daffodils are imagined bowing and dipping their heads, bright and shining but not still.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
