Metaphor
A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. In the lines, "livery" is being compared to a "weed". In these lines the speaker is showing how youth or being young is bright, beautiful and new. On the other hand, old age is worn out and not valued.
A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. Hyperbole is an over exaggeration.
1.Practice,don't memorize. Mindless memorization can waste your focus. Just, <span>pinpoint your energies into familiarizing yourself with your speech just enough to boost your confidence.
</span>2.Practice in front of a mirror. Look up, stare yourself in the eyes and while speaking, check whether your delivery of speech is natural or not.
3.Practice in Your Mind. Though it may seem strange, it will train your brain to believe that you have actually experienced your speech already.
4.Record yourself on audio/video type. This will ensure that you are delivering your speech with poise, enunciating your words clearly, and making appropriate gestures and facial expressions.
5.Get feedback. Read your prepared speech before your friends or family, and they can guide your words and see that you speak well.
Answer:
A comedic understatement would be: "It is only a small scratch." Describing a huge storm overnight, a comedic understatement would be: "Looks like it rained a bit last night." You just had to work a double shift. A comedic understatement would be: "I just need to rest my eyes for a minute."
But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust spoke only (from "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe)
Internal rhyme is when two words rhyme in the same line. In this line from "The Raven" the words lonely and only rhyme. It is a strict internal rhyme scheme because there is the same rhythm and number of syllables from the start of the line to lonely as there is from just after lonely to only. Dickinson's line "The eyes beside had wrung them dry" has three words with the same long I sound (eyes, beside, dry) but there doesn't appear to be a strict pattern and they don't actually rhyme so this is alliteration. In Thomas's "Ceremony After a Fire Raid" the short i sound is also repeated but the words do not rhyme either.
