5. Why would the phrase "James is the Santa Claus of gym class" NOT be considered an effective analogy? 1.The audience doesn't know who James is.

2. Santa Claus is not comparable to anyohe else.

3.The context does not make sense for the comparison.

4.Nothing is compared in this statement.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
