Answer and Explanation:

This is the poem "Teenagers" by Pat Mora:

One day they disappear

into their rooms.

Doors and lips shut

and we become strangers

in our own home.

I pace the hall, hear whispers,

a code I knew but can't remember,

mouthed by mouths I taught to speak.

Years later the door opens.

I see faces I once held,

open as sunflowers in my hands. I see

familiar skin now stretched on long bodies

that move past me

glowing almost like pearls.

As was described in the question, a simile compares two different things with the help of "as" or "like". The purpose is to attribute a characteristic of one of those things to the other.

In the poem, the speaker is using a simile when she says, "open as sunflowers in my hands." Her children are now big, much bigger than she could have expected them to become in just a few years. It's as if she is surprised by the fact that they are no longer babies. They are grown, different, just like a flower is when it opens, when it ceases being just a bud.

As chapter two begins, Percy's main challenge appears to be the disintegration of his reality. He begins to question his sanity because no one else seems to know who Mrs. Dodds is.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Dodds seems to have been replaced by a Mrs. Kerr, whom Percy has never seen before. To make matters worse, Grover is not able to hide the fact that he remembers Mrs. Dodds and her attack on Percy in chapter one. Percy realizes that everyone is lying to him. At night, he has nightmares about Mrs. Dodds sporting "talons and leathery wings."

Because of his stress, Percy's grades suffer. Essentially, Percy's reality has been disrupted by supernatural events beyond his control. He feels alone, unsure, and frightened. Above all, he misses his mother but knows that he must try to finish out his term at school.

Later, however, Mr. Brunner tells Percy that he must leave Yancy. This adds to Percy's distress. His only comfort is that Grover is taking the same bus into Manhattan. The chapter ends with Percy facing an unknown threat from three old ladies who are knitting a giant pair of socks.

So, Percy's main challenges in chapter two arise from the supernatural events that have contributed to the disintegration of his reality.

Answer:

He is faced with everybody telling him that Mrs. Dodds doesn't exist and he is questioning his sanity a bit. because of it.

Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

Answer:

It appears that the author has intended to illustrate how it was back then compared to the present. The author appears to be implying that military service has lessened over time. However I do not know which essay you are reading from (you have not mentioned the name) so I am not entirely sure.

Answer: The passage says Americans took pride in serving their country by fighting for it. "Some boys even lied about their ages, claiming they were older than they were, so they could enlist early!". From this we understand that people were more motivated to join even knowing the risks. The military helps them build character strength, strategy and many other things that will help. I think that the author finds it bad that most leaders aren't in the military. And most aren't offering it more to our younger generations including their children.
