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:

<em>"Now we're all 'friends,' there is no love but </em><em>Like</em><em>,</em>

<em>A </em><em>semi</em><em>-</em><em>demi goddess</em><em>, something like"</em>

  • 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."

Naily [24]
Hi!

Not sure what the question is asking exactly due to the lack of material. Although I'm assuming this is a question about logos, pathos, and ethos? Sorry if I'm assuming incorrectly. But the answer would be ethos, the president is describing the guiding beliefs and ideals of America, which is a characteristic of ethos.
