Some people have brought up cooking. Food preparation is a skill that students will use throughout their lives. For example, Youth Focus
magazine reports that early culinary education is likely to help young
adults live independently, reduce expenses, and even offer meals to
friends and family. But the benefits of cooking classes go beyond
learning to chop, mix, and sauté. In addition to building these skills,
cooking lessons offer hands-on experiences that can help students
understand other subjects such as nutrition, chemistry, and even math.
Furthermore, classes can help break down boundaries by introducing
students to foods from other cultures. Perhaps most importantly,
though, cooking classes bring students together because they are fun
- and, of course, the results are delicious.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
