Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain. Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh, and tortoises crawl
about on the red earth, going nowhere in the plenty of time.
Why does the author use the simile "popping up like corn to sting the flesh' in this excerpt?
O to show the extent to which nature can harm people
O to convey the role that animals played on the Kiowa journey
O to reveal in images what the passage of time meant to the Kiowa
O to depict the grasshoppers' vastness and activity
