Answer:
Figurative Device: Metaphor
Contribution: Technology is keeping us from processing and interacting.
Explanation:
While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.”
The black hole of endless, unimportant streams of technology-enabled information is devouring everyone living in the 21st century. No matter how much people may look at information, it does not mean they are absorbing it. Equating quality with speed and volume, people may read thousands of news headlines broadcasted across the world daily, yet they will forget them in a couple of hours. No one stops to process information anymore to determine its significance or importance. No one appreciates the value of personal interaction or nature. Everything is go, go, go. Not once do we stop. Before being introduced to my phone and computer, I had been more appreciative of the world around me. Now, I'm always consumed by my "tech," and I never stop to take a break.
I hope this helps you in any shape or form.

How do reason,will impartiality and emotions influence the person to make a good action?
Answer:
I don’t want to be a downer or ruin your day, but reasons and impartiality rarely influence decisions, at least not the degree that we would like to think. You might be convinced that you use a particular brand of soap because it is superior to other brands, or that you live in a given place because you chose it for its benefits to you. Probably not. Bias abounds and it often rules.

Short essay on Knowledge Is Power . Please do not answer for points
Answer:
Knowledge means understanding of something such as facts, information, description and skills. It is the source of power to man and this distinguishes him from other creatures of the universe. Though man is physically weaker than many animals, for he cannot see as far as an eagle, nor carry heavy loads as some animals. Nevertheless he is the most powerful creature on earth. This power basically comes to him from knowledge not from physical strength. ‘Knowledge is power’ means that a man has education and a complete control on his life by using the strength of knowledge.
Knowledge does not always come with power. Knowledge is the state of awareness or understanding and learning of specific information about something and it is gained from experience or study. This means a person has the resources to express his views dynamically and make intelligent decisions based on his every day situations, awareness and understanding.
This doesn’t make a man powerful. A man is said to be powerful when he uses his knowledge to mobilize in the right direction. When a man has the ability or capacity to act or perform effectively with his knowledge then he gains Power.
Some of the Benefits of Knowledge are :
1. A person gets the power to analyze and assert situations by his knowledge.
2. Knowledge helps a man to face adversities and stay balanced.
3. It is a key to removing the darkness of ignorance.
4. Knowledge helps in enhancing more options in the professional career of the individuals.
5. Knowledge helps in boosting confidence in individuals.
Knowledge has been a power ever since the advent of mankind. It has dramatically changed life and brought immense joy and happiness to people. When it is used to create weapons of mass destruction it becomes a curse for mankind. Knowledge that leads to ameliorating pain, suffering and brings prosperity and happiness to humanity is the real power of knowledge.

what are the values of nominalization in academic writing
Answer:
This resource will help students understand what nominalizations are, as well as how and when they should be used in sentences.
Nominalizations are nouns that are created from adjectives (words that describe nouns) or verbs (action words). For example, “interference” is a nominalization of “interfere,” “decision” is a nominalization of “decide,” and “argument” is a nominalization of “argue.”
Below are some of the more common nominalizations (on the left) and their original forms (on the right):
Nouns
Verbs
Intention
Intend
Intervention
Intervene
Distortion
Distort
Evolution
Evolve
Interference
Interfere
Discrimination
Discriminate
Decision
Decide
Assumption
Assume
Collection
Collect
Investigation
Investigate
Expansion
Expand
Disagreement
Disagree
Discussion
Discuss
Argument
Argue
Failure
Fail
Nouns
Adjectives
Applicability
Applicable
Carelessness
Careless
Difficulty
Difficult
Intensity
Intense
Shiftiness
Shifty
Happiness
Happy
Slowness
Slow
Fear
Afraid
Elder
Elderly
As you can see, the endings of the nominalized forms vary, but many end in “-ion/tion”, “-ment,” “-ity/–ty”, and “-ness.”
So, why does this matter?
First, it is important to understand what these words mean when you see them. Second, if you are aware of what nominalizations are, you may use them to make your writing easier to understand.
Remember, the two most basic units of a sentence are the subject and the verb.
Subject → Verb
Character → Action
Person or Thing → Doing Something
Sentences often start with a subject followed by a verb, and are easily understood according to this order. For example,
Many children → experience worries when they go to school for the first time.
Elephants → argue over small concerns, just like humans.
The sentences above are very clear, but you might see some with nominalizations, like the ones below:
The experience of children with respect to being at school for the first time is common.
Arguments over small concerns are something elephants have, as well as humans.
This second set of sentences is more difficult to understand because the use of the nominalization means there must be more words in the sentence.
Subject → Verb: easy to follow
Subject → Long strings of nominalizations and other forms → Verb: hard to follow
Here is an example of the difference between the two structures:
The group discussed how to plan the surprise party.
The discussion of the group was about how to surprise the girl with the birthday without her knowing.
Are nominalizations always a bad choice?
No. Sometimes, nominalizations can be useful:
When the nominalization is familiar to your reader as a character (happiness), it can be treated as a character. Example: Happiness has many causes and effects.
When you are making a general statement that focuses more on the idea than the actual actors in the sentence. Example: The distribution of the pizzas was fair.
Be sure to remember that even in a case where a nominalization is appropriate, you should not use them too often in too short of a space.

Read the excerpt from Twelfth Night, by William Shakespeare.
If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound,
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour!
Now read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

He told Penelope about the bed he crafted just for her. I hope this helps! It is a really good book isn't it? : )
