Read the excerpt below from a long way gone by ishmael beah and answer the question that follows.

there was a thick forest on one side of the village where my grandmother lived and coffee farms on the other. a river flowed from the forest to the edge of the village, passing through palm kernels into a swamp. above the swamp banana farms stretched into the horizon. the main dirt road that passed through kabati was rutted with holes and puddles where ducks liked to bathe during the day, and in the backyards of the houses birds nested in mango trees.

in the morning, the sun would rise from behind the forest. first, its rays penetrated through the leaves, and gradually, with cockcrows and sparrows that vigorously proclaimed daylight, the golden sun sat at the top of the forest. in the evening, monkeys could be seen in the forest jumping from tree to tree, returning to their sleeping places. on the coffee farms, chickens were always busy hiding their young from hawks. beyond the farms, palm trees waved their fronds with the moving wind. sometimes a palm wine tapper could be seen climbing in the early evening.

how does the setting in the excerpt support the plot?

Which line in this excerpt from the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald contains a simile? about half way between west egg and new york the motor-road hastily joins the railroad and runs beside it for a quarter of a mile, so as to shrink away from a certain desolate area of land. this is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. occasionally a line of grey cars crawls along an invisible track, gives out a ghastly creak and comes to rest, and immediately the ash-grey men swarm up with leaden spades and stir up an impenetrable cloud which screens their obscure operations from your sight.
