Read the following excerpt from Robinson Crusoe, in which Crusoe decides to leave England:
I consulted neither father nor mother any more, nor so
much as sent them word of it; but leaving them to hear of it
as they might, without asking God's blessing or my father's,
without any consideration of circumstances or
consequences, and in an ill hour, God knows, on the 1st of
September 1651, I went on board a ship bound for London.
Never any young adventurer's misfortunes, I believe, began
sooner, or continued longer than mine.
Based on the context of this excerpt, what does the phrase "without asking
God's blessing" convey about the time in which this story was written?
O A. It shows that the people of Defoe's time asked for God's blessing
only when they knew that it would be granted.
OB. It indicates that the people of Defoe's time cared little for what
God would want them to do.
C. It points out that the people of Defoe's time considered their
parents
to be rulers of their families in the same way God rules the
church.
D. It suggests that people of Defoe's time were religious and usually
looked to God to help them make decisions.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification

Which line from the story of my life by helen keller is an example of a simile? during the whole trip i did not have one fit of temper, there were so many things to keep my mind and fingers busy. i was like that ship before my education began, only i was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. one day, while i was playing with my new doll, miss sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both. child as i was, i at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared dr. bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlist their admiration.
