<span> The characters are often exemplary and representative: the Parson and the Ploughman are examples of ideal religious and secular virtue: the Monk is an example of what was then a common type: the non-religious religious - not in himself a bad man, but out of place. That greasy pair the Pardoner and the Summoner stand for the exploitative side of the religious establishment.</span>

Both artists use a combination of simile and metaphor in their lines. The first line of “Stereo Hearts” is a metaphor. Find and
kifflom [539]

Similes and metaphors are both figures of speech. Metaphors are words or phrases that are applied to actions/objects in a way that can't be literally applicable. Similes, on the other hand, are used to make emphatic descriptions by comparing two different things and usually use the words <em>as</em> or <em>like </em>to connect both words or phrases.

In <em>Stereo Heart</em>, "my heart's a stereo" is a phrase that may be used to express something, but cannot be interpreted as a realistic statement. A simile that can be found on this song is "keep it stuck in your head, like your favorite tune". In this case, a comparison is made to emphasize the first phrase.  

The first line of <em>A Red, Red Rose </em>is "O my Luve's like a red, red rose," and is a simile used to make a more vivid description of "my Luve". Metaphors can be found in the third stanza: "Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun." Both actions are not likely to happen, in an immediate future at least, but help express a strong feeling.
