He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell;

Though he'd often say in his homely way

that he'd "sooner live in hell."

In this passage from “The Cremation of Sam McGee,” the poet’s use of simile suggests that

Sam like cold weather better than gold.

Sam would look for gold only in good weather.

even though it was cold, Sam couldn’t help being drawn to the land of gold.

gold never mattered to Sam.

"The weather in Alaska can be bitterly cold, so people have

different ways of handling and adapting to it."

I just took the test! I guess we go to the same school and our teachers are giving us the test at the same time. I ended up failing but hopefully your do well! :) (also don't worry, my teacher is letting me do retakes)

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
