1. "There he stood, like a great iceberg blocking my path" is a SIMILE because it uses the word "like" to compare a man to an iceberg.

2. "There he stood, a great iceberg blocking my path" is a METAPHOR because it says that he IS an iceberg.

3. "Throughout my life, my brother has always been like that annoying itch beside the shoulder blade, the one you can never quite reach" is a SIMILE because it compares the brother to an annoying itch.

4. "Let us go then, you and I, when the evening is spread out against the sky, like a patient etherized upon a table" is a SIMILE because it uses the word "like" to compare the spreading of the evening upon the sky to a patient falling asleep (from anesthetic) on a table, their body slowly spreading out as they go limp.

5. "We thought we were safe and warm, but a tree branch crashed through the roof" contains an the word "crashed" which is an ONOMATOPOEIA because it represents that song that the tree branch made.

6. "Death stands above me, whispering low I know not what into my ear" is a personification of death and it is also a metaphor for one who is near death, but, primarily, it is a use of IMAGERY to create an image in the mind of the reader.

7. "The sound of his blows was like an axe striking a rotten log in the distance" is a SIMILE because it compares the sound of a man hitting something/someone to that of an axe striking a rotten log.

8. "The fog comes on little cat feet" is a METAPHOR because it describes the fog approaching quietly by comparing it to the soft way that a cat walks.

Read this excerpt from "ain't i a woman? " by sojoumer truth in which three sentences does she make an emotional appeal to the audience by talking about her personal hardships? well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. {i think that 'twixt the negroes of the south and the women at the north, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.} but what's all this here talking about? {that man over there says that women need to be into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. nobody ever me into carriages, or over mud puddles, or gives me any best place} and ain't i a woman? look at me! look at my arm! {i have ploughed and planted, and gathered into bars, and no man could head me! } and ain't i a woman? i could work as much and eat as much as a man - when i could get it - and bear the lash as well! and ain't i a woman? {i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mother's grief, none but jesus heard me! } and ain't i a woman? {then they talk about this thing in the head, what's this they call it? [member of audience whispers, "intellect") that's it, honey.} what's that got to do with women's rights or negroes' rights? if my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?
