<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The speaker wants to indicate readers the important thing is how they can understand the poem

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A contribution to statistics is a poem written by wislava szymborska from poland. He has also been awarded Nobel Prize in 1996. Here the not approximate numbers are our efforts to measure the life in which we often fail because we want the world to be as we want which is never possible even if we try to.

The only thing which is going to happen and is certain is death and we have an exact number which is death. In the poem the poet goes from exact numbers to approximate numbers to show how people feel about them, they are not just numbers but it's upon people's mind how they perceive them. According to the speaker, the most likely reason the books will last even after people are gone is because they were created by ideas

Answer:

Types of Figurative Language used: Imagery, onomatopoeia, personification, simile

What I think my summer will be like might be really fun. What I hope and plan to do will be to hang out with friends and enjoy the warm, soft breeze as we hang out together during the bright, sunny day and possibly during the quiet, starry nights. What I would also want to do is play video games with friends while I listen to the soft click-clacking of the controller's joysticks and buttons. I would also love to stay inside for a few days and enjoy some time alone while I sketch or paint, and watch as my pencil or paintbrush dance along the canvas, creating a beautiful scenery. I'd also like to go to the movies with friends or family and take in the smell of freshly popped popcorn and eat my favorite candies and snacks as we watch the movie while whispering as quietly as mice. I'd like to go to the park with some friends and family and celebrate each other's birthdays and play around together while we wait for cake. At the end of each week, I would want to lay back on my bed and watch my favorite animes and catch up on mangas that I left alone while I was so busy with school. Another thing I would want to do as well would be to go see relatives that live a little far and spend a day or two with them as we enjoy our time together and have fun. There's many other things I would love to do, but I think I'll take it one day at a time.

I hope this helped~!
