Find the figurative language in the following paragraph and list them below:
The teacher vs student basketball game was like an all out civil war. It was clear that the
students were far more prepared because, most of the teachers were wheezing like dying cars.
One of the students was a bolt of lightning as he ran past Mr. Jones to make a three-point shot.
It didn't take long for Mr. Jones and the rest of the teachers to realize they just could not keep
up. Even the ball was exhausted from being run up and down the court. As the clock ticked
down, the student spectators screamed so loud that the earth quaked. This was a game
they would always remember.

How is stockton’s concept of romantic love different from checkhovs if their stories are an indication of their views

Read the passage first of all if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that[it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norway gazed down upon the world from it’s summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
