was light coming through the trees. was hope in it. was a great joy to get the news of our team’s victory. was a celebration ahead.
was a joy written all over her face. was no sham.
could be anybody. was difficult to see through the mist.
was nobody in the house. could be no mistake about it.
was not much to be added, and was a relief.
was too much to be said about him, and was felt by everybody present.
is another letter from Polly, isn’t fine?
was another of his letters, and was a lot of bitterness expressed there.
is about ten already. is time to start. is all the time we need. is no need to hurry.

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.
