Allegory and Simile

It is a simile because it uses the word an. Haha, I had the excact same question on my grammer worksheet in school. \ /

Estate, homestead, hacienda...

"I watched as the spoken words were written down to become like caged birds caught forever by my clever baap."

like or as

The sentence 'Stubborn as a mule' is a simile as it contains the word 'as' which makes it a comparison.

In Plato's Allegory of the Cave, the outside world represents truth. When the prisoner is forced out of his comfortable darkness and into the outside world, he is blinded by the difference in light and finds this new environment excruciating. This represents the discomfort that often comes along with leaving one's comfort zone in the quest for knowledge. Eventually, the prisoner looks up to the sun, and despite feeling the most discomfort yet, understands its immense influence on the world around him.

When he returns to the case and tells his fellow prisoners about what he's seen, they mock him. This represents the judgment of masses, however ignorant they may be to higher levels of truth.

Examples of this judgment in later years include the execution of Socrates and the life-long house arrest Galileo Galilei was put under.

It would be more appropriately phrased as "the car was as fast as a horse".

The moon is like a loyal star shining overhead, always present if not always seen.

Her eyes shone like diamonds. Eyes are directly compared to diamonds - Similie

dry dusty

What did we say to each other

that now we are as the deer

who walk in single file

with heads high

with ears forward

with eyes watchful

with hooves always placed on firm ground

in whose limbs there is latent flight

You are probably referring to a palindrome, which reads the same forwards and backwards but is not necessarily a sentence. Some classics:

Madam, I'm Adam.

A man, a plan, a canal--Panama!

There is a large collection at the site linked below. Some of them make sense and some are, frankly, extremely strained.

Here is another one:

was it a cat I saw

Here are a few examples of similes describing someone as skinny: "She was as thin as a pencil," "He looked like a scarecrow in the field," and "Her arms were as slender as twigs." These comparisons vividly illustrate the person's slimness using relatable imagery.

the ibis is a symbol of doodle as in both physical and mental ways. they are both fragile and try to adjust to a lifestyle not of their own.also, the narrator feels regret after trying to fulfill his pride by making his brother something he is not. the storm in the end can represent replenishing and a new start b/c the death of doodle will forever leave the speaker mournful and the rain seems to wash away that sin.

this is as difficult as trying to break iron with you bare hands.

this is as difficult as trying to pass a test without studying.

this is as difficult as trying to sing a song without the lyrics.

Hardworking as a dog or beaver cuz animals word hard or hardworking as a builder cuz they work hard to build houses and buildings?

Probably the most famous example of personification in poetry

is the Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme .

Hey diddle, diddle

The cat and the fiddle

The cow jumped over the moon

The little dog laughed to see such fun

And the dish ran away with the spoon!

Personification is when a human quality is transposed

onto an animal or inanimate subject:

'dog laughed'....'dish ran away with the spoon'

In Wiliiam Blake's 'The Train' he makes

great use of personification.. the first stanza;

I like to see it lap the miles

And lick the valleys up

And stop to feed itself at tanks

And then, prodigious, step

Everywhere in the book. Open your eyes, there are like 5 on every page!

allusion is indirectly and reader should realize the difference by themselves.

in metaphor the writer make the first object and second object kind of the equal thing and will tell the reader what is the point that make them the same thing.

The rock is changed by the river, like a person is changed by life experiences.

A unitary government is like a game of follow the leader :) Hope I helped
