In Langston Hughes' "I, Too", he speaks of how segregation existed in his present times and how he had to show tolerance towards those who shun him, but how that would not always be the case. His metaphor begins when he states that people "... send me to eat in the kitchen." while everyone else eats at the table. So he's set aside and left behind by society while everyone else carries a normal life. However, he doesn't fall for self pity but "laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.", waiting for the day when he will <em>sit at the table</em> and no one will dare to send him away as they will be able to see his value.
This is an extended metaphor as it is not confined to a phrase or sentence, but rather used throughout the whole text.

Explanation:
As per the question, the use of rhetorical language in 'a slight breeze could have blown me over' most adequately substantiates the claim that the point of view adopted in the paragraph is of an individual who was extremely entertained by Mitch's outlook/costume. It displays the immediate reaction of surprise seeing Mitch dressed completely off theme costume. His twisted clothes have completely shocked the speaker and made him think if the message of dress-code being formal even reached him. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
Answer:
First day back at school and somehow I'm already dragging my feet back into classroom 221. As the bell blares, I turn the cold doorknob and step into the cramped room. "You're late," Mrs. Lenard states coldly. I feel the eyes of my nosy peers glare as I walk to my desk. The dim light above my small workspace flickers. I sit down on my frigid seat and reach down for my heavy textbook. The floor is filthy, littered with various wrappers and old pencils. I already want to leave and the lesson has yet to begin.

Answer:
a. id
Explanation:
According to o Freud's personality theory, the human psyche is divided into three distinct parts, id, ego, and superego. These three parts develop in different stages of the life of the human. The id is the primitive stage of human personality. It explains and responds to the immediate requirements of the person. The basic desires, needs and urges of a newborn child belong to this stage. It works on the pleasure principle and focuses on the immediate satisfaction of the self. In the above case, the Cookie Monster's urge to eat cookies reflects his id principle.
