Answer 1

In lines 1-2, the speaker describes "like" as a "semi-demi goddess" primarily to emphasize the:

- Almost religious devotion people have to collecting "likes" on social media.

• This question refers to the poem "Sestina: Like" by A. E. Stallings in which the author criticizes the excessive use of the word "like".

• The first two lines of the poem are the following:

"Now we're all 'friends,' there is no love but Like,

A semi-demi goddess, something like"

• The author's purpose is to show how devoted people are to getting "likes" on social media.

• "Like" is practically a substitute for love. We feel loved when people like our posts.

• It is such an intense need of ours that it is comparable to a religious devotion, which is why the author compares "like" to a "semi-demi goddess."
