Excerpt from Marsupials
Carole Jenkins
Tasmania is an island south of Australia and is the home of two marsupials, the wombat and the Tasmanian devil. Some people
think that wombats make good pets. They are about three feet long and live in borrows. As nocturnal vegetarians, they feed at
night on leaves, roots, and vegetables. Tasmanian devils, on the other hand, are savage and do not make good pets. They
resemble small bears, and they kill and eat other animals.

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.
