Figurative Friday: MY SHADOW by Robert Louis Stevenson

#### Poem Excerpt:
```
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow—
Not at all like proper children, who always go to school.
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India-rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got a notion of how children ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nurse as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining deer on every buttercup;
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.
```

#### Questions:

1. Who is “he” in the poem?
- Options:
a. the speaker
b. the speaker’s imaginary friend

2. Which of the following from the poem is an example of a simile?
- Options:
a. I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me
b. For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball
