(1) Immanuel handed the gate attendant his tickets and passport, which she set off to the side as if they were unimportant. She does this a hundred times a day, he thought. But this is my first time leaving my home.
(2) “One way, right?” she checked.
(3) “Right.” No big deal. Just one way. To Australia—the other side of the world.
(4) “Is there a problem?” Immanuel’s father asked, tapping his shoulder. He was eager to do one last thing for his son, but felt Immanuel needed to be independent. And he didn’t want the boy to worry, so he fought to keep his tone light and casual. For the moment, he succeeded.
(5) “No problem.” The agent stamped the paperwork, handed it back, and gave Immanuel a yellow boarding pass decorated with a jumping kangaroo. Appropriate, she thought. The kid’s jumping out into the world, all right. Lucky to be starting out, looking forward to an adventure.
(6) How can I do this? Go so far from home? What was I thinking?
(7) Immanuel’s mother worked to control her emotions. She wanted him to be happy and confident about taking this big step, going to a university in a different country.
(8) Immanuel then kissed and hugged his parents. They seemed so calm. Don’t they care? I feel as if I don’t mean anything to them.
(9) As they watched him walk toward the airplane, Immanuel’s father suddenly grabbed his wife’s hand and sobbed. Her eyes filled with tears.
(10) Immanuel turned back for a last look and was surprised to see his parents’ emotions. He smiled, and waved. Then he laughed in relief.
(11) I think I can do this.

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
