This is a metaphor beacuse it is comparing the books to the mirrors of the soul because it is not using the words 'like' or 'as' to compare. And this explains that the type of books a person reads explains the type of person who is reading.

this is a hyperbole because he is saying that he lived in an era of dinosaurs which is impossible]]> 2022-05-02 05:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/year9aigcse/Bookmarks/wish/2166324932 https://padlet.com/year9aigcse/Bookmarks/wish/2166326537 "Out of a mountain of despair, a stone of hope". - Martin Luther King Jr.

To keep your balance you must keep moving." - Albert Einstein

This is an analogy because 2 concepts are being compared for clearer understanding. In this case, life is being compared to riding a bicycle. This quote symbolizes a similarity as people must keep going in order to keep their balance on a bicycle and must continue onward in life no matter what happens in order to maintain themselves.

"We each have a spark of life inside of us, that can start a fire. You can choose to burn down a room or to brighten it with light" - José N. Harris

This is a metaphor because things are being symbolized without the use of the words "like" or "as." In this case, the spark symbolizes the potential inside of an individual. The individual has the control over it in order to do something for the benefit or detriment of others. This is indicated by the lighting or a room and the burning down of a room which represent the positive contribution and the negative contribution, respectively. ]]> 2022-05-02 09:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/year9aigcse/Bookmarks/wish/2166497081
