Dear _______,
I understand that while you may not be too inclined to use your resources to buy more current, relevant, popular, or even grammatically correct books for your bookstore, because you believe that there are higher priorities seeking your attention much more, but your bookstore has begun stocking only books that are _______ [ list cons ], and for a shop that should specialize in literature, this is not acceptable. Please replace or add new books to your collection, books that are ______[list what you want] -- we have children in our community, children who might grow up reading these books and not develop the minds, the imagination, that they could have had. What's more, if some of your books are in any way discriminating against something or someone, they might grow up with the wrong morals and ideas! Please do something about this issue, <em>or I may have to take this up with the ______ board, the mayor, or a supervisor </em>[you can delete this if it doesn't apply].
Many thanks,
_______(Your Name)

Answer:
simile
Explanation:
A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).
In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.
Metaphor is an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things.
Idioms are phrases that may be impossible to interpret or difficult to understand based on a loose translation of the words contained therein. Therefore, idioms are everyday language that shouldn't be interpreted literally but in a figurative sense.
Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.
Simile has to do with comparison of two things using as or like.
Hence, the type of figurative language used in the above sentence is simile because the burned meat was compared with leather (old sneakers) using as.
1. Unrealistic beauty standards. It’s a plague to our society and needs to be changed. It causes a lot of people to develop serious mental heath issues, identity issues and even body dysmorphia just trying to emulate the beauty standards that are simply unattainable and not real.
2. Poverty. I think it’s unfair that not everyone can have access to healthcare, which in my opinion should not be paid for, food, shelter and warmth. Which are the basic things needed to live. Not saying we should all be paid the same salary and live in the same houses, even if we’re a hardworking doctor. I just think everyone should be able to be fed, have somewhere to live and clothes on their back and an education so that they have the chance to get a job and create a career for themselves.
3. There’s so many things I’d want to change, limiting it to 3 is so hard lol but my third one would probably be equality between people whether that be race, religion, gender, whatever a person identifies as, who they love, what they want to be in life or however a person chooses to dress, whatever. This is due to the fact that everyone is different. There’s nothing we can do to change that, people are going to be different, they’re going to want to do things differently, they’re going to be born differently etc. Others shouldn’t treat someone else differently or bad because of the colour of someone’s skin, or because of the fact that they’re a woman, for example. A lot of people are prejudice to others just because of the things that make someone who they are, and I think it’s wrong and I’d love for it to change.
Other things I’d like to improve or change: environmental pollution,
global warming,world hunger,animal abuse, war, the education system and the prison system.
