Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Pajamas: Danny felt a flush of embarrassment. Just then, he heard the laughter of a few of the older boys on his team. Danny knew that they were making fun of his dad. He hurried quickly into the locker room to get ready for practice. As he was getting ready, all he could think about were those ridiculous pants. Danny usually took this time to prepare and get focused on hockey, but he couldn't this morning, all he could think about were those pants and how embarrassed he felt. A few minutes later, when he skated out onto the ice, Danny glanced at his dad in the stands. There he was, standing with a group of other dads and they were all laughing. Danny felt a pang of sadness for his father. The other dads were probably making fun of him too.

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.
