I need a poem about freedom and it needs to have one simile and a metaphor

English

Klio2033 [76]3 years ago

Since there are no other details and instructions, I wrote the poem in free verse.

Answer:

Should we break this chain

And soar?

<u>We are eagles</u>

But were told we could not fly.

Should we kill the beast

or run?

<u>We're like flowers</u>

That were plucked by withered hands.

They tell us this is how things are

Should we believe them

Or break free?

The sky is our home

The mountain tops our bed

Should we fly, my friend?

Or let them pluck us to die?

Explanation:

Simile and metaphors are similar figures of speech in the sense that they both are used to make a comparison.

<u>A metaphor makes an indirect comparison by stating that "thing X is thing Y". By doing so, it lets us know that X is similar to Y, that it has characteristics that Y has. That is what we have in "we are eagles". Of course we are not eagles. What it means is that, just like eagles, we have the power to be free.</u>

<u>A simile makes a direct comparison, that is, a more clear comparison than a metaphor. That is because the simile uses the words "like" or "as" to compare - "thing X is like thing Y." That is what we have in "we're like flowers". In this case, we are being compared to flowers that were plucked, that had their freedom taken away and died.</u>
