Answer:
Boss could be a negative connotation if they were described as "tyrannical"
Boss could be a positive connotation if you're the boss at something as in "that game is so boss"
The main similarity between both poems; the purple cow by Gellett Burgess and the mending wall of Robert Frost is their humorous language.
The American Poet Robert Frost explores the theme of humor in his poem "The Mending Wall". Just like the line, "Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder if I could put a notion on his head."
A - "We were on the verge of bankruptcy..." + "Vibrant and Prosperous"
"On the verge" related to being on the edge, like being close to the end of a cliff. Those words invoke imagery
Vibrant means bright and thriving, and prosperous means rich, successful and flourishing. Those words are pretty charged!
B - "We were a sinking ship" + "We repaired our ship"
The person speaking compares the state of the town to a ship sinking
C - There is no example for parallelism
D - "Five years ago...Five years ago...Five years later. I am your mayor...as the mayor"
The speaker (who is the mayor) repeats the phrase "five years ago", putting emphasis on key ideas
I hope this helps you understand!
