Answer:
He ran for an eternity.- Hyperbole
Ping pong was his life.- Metaphor
Explanation:
Figurative languages are used by writers to give more "life" to their works. They help create this 'color' in the text, through the use of different elements.
A simile is when two unrelated things are compared using "as" or "like" in the sentence.
Personification is when human attributes are given to non-living things.
A metaphor is also another form of comparison but without the use of "as" or "like".
An allusion is when a reference to a well-known person, place, or thing is made.
Hyperbole is when an exaggerated statement is made, overemphasizing the point.
Hey there!
Hyperbole :-
A. He ran for an eternity.
Hyberbole is used when you exaggerate something. Surely a person cannot run for an eternity. It's just an exaggeration to show that the person ran for a long time. So, it's a hyberbole.
Metaphor :-
B. Ping pong was his life.
Here, this sentence is a metaphor because it compares ping pong to the person's life without the use of like/as. This sentence tells that ping pong meant everything to the person.

OKAYY SO I'VE DECIDED TO PICK JACK FOR YOU... I put them on bullet points so you write it out yourself later on
Golding achieves characterization by using direct and indirect techniques to establish the personalities of Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, Sam, and Eric (Samneric). As a result, we come to understand them as symbolic icons of good, evil, reason, loyalty, and justice. ( I bolded the important details on this paragraph)Jack, Ralph's nemesis, is tall and thin. He is fair-skinned and freckled with piercing light blue eyes that easily convey anger.Golding uses multiple methods to characterize Jack in Lord of the Flies, including direct and indirect characterization, dialogue, and the response of others. Direct characterization shows Jack's eyes were "ready to turn, to anger." Indirect characterization shows that Jack hunts and enjoys the k!ll. Characterizing Jack through dialogue includes his telling Piggy, “Shût up, Fàtty.” Golding also shows how Ralph responds to Jacks's commanding presence.More About Jack:
Jack is the classic example of a dictator. He's determined to rule the island single-handed, and woe betides anyone brave or foolish enough to get in his way. Like all dictators, he uses a mixture of fear and violence to cement his power.The strong-willed, egomaniacal Jack is the novel’s primary representative of the instinct of savagery, violence, and the desire for power—in short, the antithesis of Ralph. From the beginning of the novel, Jack desires power above all other things. He is furious when he loses the election to Ralph and continually pushes the boundaries of his subordinate role in the group. Early on, Jack retains the sense of moral propriety and behavior that society instilled in him—in fact, in school, he was the leader of the choirboys. The first time he encounters a pig, he is unable to k!ll it. But Jack soon becomes obsessed with hunting and devotes himself to the task, painting his face like a barbarian and giving himself over to bloodlust. The more savage Jack becomes, the more he is able to control the rest of the group. Indeed, apart from Ralph, Simon, and Piggy, the group largely follows Jack in casting off moral restraint and embracing violence and savagery. Jack’s love of authority and violence are intimately connected, as both enable him to feel powerful and exalted. By the end of the novel, Jack has learned to use the boys’ fear of the beast to control their behavior—a reminder of how religion and superstition can be manipulated as instruments of power.(I left pictures for information on the book and character)

"A twenty-two," [Rainsford] remarked. "That's odd. It must have been a fairly large animal too. The hunter had his nerve with him to tackle it with a light gun. It's clear that the brute put up a fight. I suppose the first three shots I heard was when the hunter flushed his quarry and wounded it. The last shot was when he trailed it here and finished it."He examined the ground closely and found what he had hoped to find – the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway; night was beginning to settle down on the island.—"The Most Dangerous Game,"Richard Connell

Write a paragraph that evaluates Odysseus's qualifications as an epic hero?
Answer:
Odysseus is the main character of the epic poem "The Odyssey" by Homer. He has several of the characteristics typical of epic heroes, such as being of noble birth, and being notoriously skillful fighters and warriors, who are loyal to a cause. However, they cannot use their loyalty to act pompous or above others. Although Odysseus is supposed to be the protagonist we're supposed to cheer for throughout the story, he presents some imperfections, as does everyone else. God, goddess, demigod, mortal, everyone has their flaws. Leaving them out of a story is likely to alienate people from the tale as they feel like they can relate less to it. Unlike other heroes, he is willing to use unfair means to achieve his goals. Since he is very witty, he can easily fool others to save himself. Although he does fight for justice, he is willing to do it in an unjust way, even though it may sound contradictory to us. Still, he is a hero. I think this is the essence of *most* ancient Greek myths and epics. They depict selfish and imperfect gods, who in turn depict imperfect humans. If you know anything about how the gods came to be you'd know that it was a very bloody and hateful process. This is because the people who make the myths want to really emphasize the fact that nobody is perfect and that everyone can have flaws.
Explanation:
this is probably gonna get you some extra credit as i kinda merged a bunch of other answers together and also included flaws of odysseus too :)
The protagonist of the great work of Homer, "The Odyssey" is Odysseus. He possesses several traits that define epic heroes, including noble birth.
What is poetry?Poetry, sometimes known as verse, is a genre of literature that employs the use of phonaesthetics, sound symbolism to invoke meanings in addition to or instead of a prosaic outward meaning. A poem comprises a literary work that a poet creates by adhering to this idea.
The protagonist of the great work of Homer, "The Odyssey" is Odysseus. He possesses several traits that define epic heroes, including noble birth, a reputation for being a skilled combatant and warrior, and devotion to a cause. They cannot, however, utilise their allegiance to act arrogant or superior to others.
Therefore, the protagonist of the great work of Homer, "The Odyssey" is Odysseus. He possesses several traits that define epic heroes, including noble birth.

Describe Summer R.I.S.E., including the program's goals and how it works. Then, explain if you think a program like this would be a good idea for schools where you live. Explain why or why not. Include facts and details from the Article below.
For the Summer R.I.S.E. (Real Interesting Summer Experience) program, organizations in Montgomery County, Maryland, provide high school students with summer internships. The program launched in the summer of 2017. More than 140 businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits stepped up and offered to host the students for the internships. There were opportunities at construction companies, police stations, marketing firms, fire stations, and more. The program was offered again in July 2018. And it's set to run in the summer of 2019.
Summer R.I.S.E. was developed through a partnership. Government officials, Montgomery County Public Schools, and a job training organization called WorkSource Montgomery all worked together. WorkSource Montgomery helps prepare students for their work assignments. Students also receive training on workplace behavior and communication. Partner organizations provide students with other necessities. These include bus passes and workplace clothing. At the end of the internship period, each student receives a $300 stipend.
More than 400 students from all of Montgomery County's 25 high schools took part in Summer R.I.S.E. in its first year. Aelina said it was a valuable experience. She got to spend time in a lab. She also got some experience with animal husbandry. She worked with the lab's snakes and tortoises.
"A lot of the materials and machinery we used [in Summer R.I.S.E. are] not [available] at most high schools, [and it's] really important for me to learn how to use these things," Aelina said. "I got to learn a lot at the same time I was able to have a lot of fun. And I met some new people."
Among those new people was Jennifer Sengbusch. Sengbusch works at Montgomery College. She worked closely with Aelina in the lab.
"At first…I had to go over safety rules with her to avoid any injury to herself," Sengbusch said. "We also went through working with chemicals [and] making solutions. Then we progressed into doing more [difficult] things."
Sengbusch was pleased to find that Aelina was engaged. She also appreciated that Aelina was always on time.
Letting employers know that today's high school students are ready and willing to learn is a major benefit of Summer R.I.S.E. But it's not the only one.
Will Jawando founded Summer R.I.S.E. He says it has two main goals. "The first goal is to expose our students to career opportunities early on so they can inform their education or training after high school," he said.
"It is really important to make sure that we're providing for our future generation," Craig Rice said. He's a Montgomery County councilman who helped secure funding for Summer R.I.S.E. "It's really something that if we're going to be serious about being globally competitive [and] providing a number of different options for our children, we've got to make sure that we put our money where our mouth is."
The second goal of Summer R.I.S.E. is boosting the local economy. The internships make students aware of opportunities in Montgomery County.
"There are 30,000 middle-skill-level jobs here in Montgomery County that are not filled," Jawando explained. "So how do we also expose [students] to [the fact] that there are jobs here in the county that they could be doing in a year or two that pay well and are on career [tracks]? So [the program] not only benefits the students, but hopefully [also] benefits the county and the region. If they stay here, they become productive [as] citizens and as taxpayers."
Sengbusch says Summer R.I.S.E. gave her a chance to work with high school students. Some of these same students may soon be applying to Montgomery College. She found them curious and eager to learn. She observed that some high school students were even more interested in learning than the college students.
"The high school students really ask a lot of great questions," Sengbusch said.
