Simile because it has “like” in it.
The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.
The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.
In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"
Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.
The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.

My dear sister,
First of all, a huge congratulations on getting into the school you've always wanted. Not only is that school my alma mater, but it is also one of the most prestigious schools in the whole state and I am so proud of you making it in.
There are some things that I would like you to know before you start school. And I want you to listen carefully and make it a point to try to remember them as much as you can.
First, the school's an old institution but that doesn't mean it is bad. On the contrary, it is so famous and good that it's still up and running till now. The institution helped a lot of famous faces grow up, and it is a good place to learn and be educated. The school has all of the facilities that one can find in a school and so, I would like you to try to make use of everything and expand your knowledge.
Moreover, the school also has some rules and regulations which may seem inappropriate. But it is for your good. Try to follow them and never deviate from it. The school's principal, Mr. Smith is also a good guy who is always ready to help the students with any of their grievances. So, don't hesitate to approach him, or other teachers too. They are all there to help you grow into a good person.
The school's reputation is one which you should try to emulate and it will help you in your future life too. But at the same time, try to experience and enjoy as much as you can.
I hope to visit you as soon as I can come there. Till then, take care and will be seeing you soon.
With lots of love,
Brianna.

Puritans as a political entity largely disappeared, but Puritan attitudes and ethics continued to exert an influence on American society. They made a virtue of qualities that made for economic success—self-reliance, frugality, industry, and energy—and through them influenced modern social and economic life.
