Another example is the use of simile to describe the characters' reactions to the books. The characters are described as feeling "as if they had been born again" or "as if they had been awakened from a dream" after reading a book. This simile emphasizes the idea that the
In all of the stories Bradbury uses loads of similes to help describe the text to the reader. An example of a simile from “There Will Come Soft Rains” is, “The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks”. This is an example of a simile because it helps give you a picture of how fast the dishes multiplied. An example of a simile from Fahrenheit 451 is, “he slowed as if a wind had sprung up from nowhere”. This is an example of a simile because it shows what it could have looked like.
As the poem continues the author's thoughts deepen as she ponders about the foxes' vulnerability to the world.he tone shifts negatively as “it was awful
This simile begins the poem with a comparison between the relationship between two gazelles who occupy different plains. This is a clever way to begin the poem because the author uses this same method of comparison between two distant things in the rest of his comparisons. This simile in particular is a good example of distance between two similar things that Dunn is comparing. In this example, the two gazelles are thought to be similar because they are the same species, but as one reads further it is apparent that the gazelles seem close but in reality are far away from each other. This is easy to see because Dunn says the gazelles occupy different plains and are both running from separate lions.
An example of allusion is “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.” Henry made reference to the siren and the song that makes people lose their minds. An example of metaphor is “I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.” He was comparing his experiences to a lamp that guided him. An example of imagery is “...and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.”
A simile is a comparison that describes two different things using ¨like¨ or ¨as.¨ The first way Connell demonstrates using a simile is in the example, ¨The sea was as flat as a plate glass window.¨ He describes the sea to a smooth glass window. During this part of the story, there was no breeze in the air and the ocean waves were still and calm, which caused Rainsford to feel stressed about the strange things that were happening around the island. Another way Connell used a simile was ¨... his thick eyebrows were pointed and military mustache was as black as the night from which Rainsford had come.¨
What is the purpose of all the contrasting, descriptive imagery? What elements underlyingly stand for other items? The poem opens with the speaker reflecting on their past and relating to frogs asserting that they
The poem uses sophisticated words to remind us of the hawk’s obvious intelligence, but also of his cockiness. He repeatedly talks about his vantage point and how it is an advantageous perspective. The hawk believes he is
Another example where Bradbury uses simile to enhance his works is in “The Pedestrian.” When Leonard Mead is on a walk,“a lone car turned a corner quite suddenly and
Instead of focusing on love, the reader is excited about life and taking in every moment. Additionally, the speaker is innocent and naïve to the hardships of life. " While in the wild wood I did lie, A child-with a most knowing eye". These lines suggest that the speaker is witnessing love for the first time. Moreover, he was not yet aware of the "wild wood" that is life.
The poem begins with the narrator describing being alone in the woods. She is being dragged through the water, by a mysterious man which develops the sense of imprisonment. She describes the man’s language as not human and she turned to prayer to find strength.
Compare and Contrast: My Papa’s Waltz and Grape Sherbet “My papa’s waltz” by Theodore Roethke is a poem about the relationship between father and son, where the son try to teach the father waltzing. “Grape Sherbet” is a poem by Rita Dove, describes his/her childhood memories of father.

The poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” can be the same or different because both have different animals but they act differently. In the poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” there will be comparing and contrasting in both poems, “A Blessing” and “Predators” Both poems “A Blessing” and “Predators” they both have tamed animals in both poems because the horses are tamed in “Blessing” and they are surrounded by fences/barbed wire so, they can’t get out on page 139 and paragraph 5 it says “We step over the barbed wire into the pasture” and on “Predators” they have cats and dogs who are tamed too.
