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

English
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
6 0

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>

How does Beowulf die?
djyliett [7]
<span>Beowulf dies during battle with a dragon. In the second part of the poem, Beowulf has ruled over the Geats for fifty years, and he is a good leader. When the dragon attacks, it is worthy of note that he does not do so unprovoked. The dragon has been tasked with guarding a treasure hoard, and although the original owner of the treasure has long since died, the dragon continues to stand guard. When a cup is stolen from the treasure by a man who wants to win favor with his master, the dragon seeks revenge on Beowulf's people. Beowulf takes a large retinue of warriors to fight the dragon, but at the sight of the creature, all of Beowulf's vassals flee with the exception of Wiglaf, the youngest. Beowulf and Wiglaf fight the dragon together, and although they kill the dragon, Beowulf is fatally wounded. As he lays dying, Beowulf gives Wiglaf instructions for his burial and the disposal of the treasure.Wiglaf's remaining by Beowulf's side reinforces the theme of loyalty in the poem. Beowulf is ultimately faithful to his lord, Hygelac, even while he is fighting in the service of Hrothgar, a rival lord. This loyalty is repaid when Wiglaf remains by his side, even while his other vassals flee.</span>
