1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone". 

2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa. 

3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

                                                                                   Number 6, Green Road,

                                                                                   Illinois.

                                                                                   August 28, 2020.

Hey man, how is it going? Hope you're doing great.

You remember I told you I would be graduating from Secondary School next week, right? Well, Secondary School was fun, it was a real learning phase and now I'm ready for the next stage of my life.

I'm writing to you, to appreciate you for your support all these years and how you have stood by me and contributed positively to my life most especially during my stint as the Library Prefect which I held for nine months. You were always helping me keep the library safe and organized, so much to the extent that my assistant library prefect got jealous and angry because you literally took her job from her, hehe.

Thank you for all the memories, even though I'm yet to forgive you for pranking me last month, but I hope our friendship will be forever.

                                                                                Lots of love,

                                                                                Christian Kumwha.
