As such, the mafia is a counterculture.
Take into consideration the counterculture of the 60s - the hippie culture who opposed wars and fought the government in a peaceful way. They wanted to change the society for the better by opposing those in power. Mafia, on the other hand, opposes the entire society, but is still an example of counterculture.
Answer:
what is your question I can help you
It is a metaphor because it is comparing one thing to another.
The direct object in the sentence is most likely "Juanita". In order for you to find the direct object in the sentence, you have to find the noun or pronoun that receives the action of a verb. Direct objects ask "who" or "what" regarding the verb in your statement. In the sentence above, Hakeem thanked Juanita for the popcorn. "Thanked" is the verb in your sentence. Now ask yourself, who did Hakeem thank? He thanked Juanita. That makes Juanita the direct object in the sentence. Hope this helped you! (Sorry if this is wrong!)
