Read the story.

ever since his father hurt his back baling hay for the horses, jonah had been taking on more responsibility around the family’s farm. a lanky boy of 15, with a shock of blond hair as sun bleached as summer wheat, jonah was too young to run off and join the navy. his older brother, sam, had signed up right after the japanese attack on pearl harbor five months before on december 7, 1941. in addition to his brother’s chores and his own, jonah had to take on the work that had been done by the three of them only months before. consequently, jonah didn’t have time to go to school since the work had to be done during the daylight. when he told his parents that he wanted to drop out of school completely, his mother wouldn’t hear of it. “you need an education if you want to get ahead in this world,” she told him.

which phrase from the excerpt is an analogy?

"baling hay for the horses"

"run off and join the navy"

"want to get ahead in this world"

"hair as sun bleached as summer wheat"

The major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound-stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingway’s limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.
