Read the excerpt from the passage. One day there was an announcement at school about the first annual art festival: artwork would showcase the work of novices and up-and-coming artists. Every art student was expected to participate, and since at least one art class was required to earn a diploma, Zia had no choice but to participate. Although she didn't voice her feelings aloud, Dia was privately elated that Zia would finally be on her "turf." (paragraph 4)

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
