You're in fourth grade then lol. I was sent here by my fifth grade teacher. I don't know if this has to do with me being advanced last year, but she's teaching us this stuff like we haven't learned it at all lol.
First time watcher here. I was sold, SOLD at :38. You SAID what you said. Oh my goodness, I love listening to you talk. Your enunciation, dictation, the way you teach is so.. perfect. Yeah, like the speaking, education, and grammar jobs NEED someone like you.
The danish national linguistics counsel did something rather brave. They said: We are done with this argument so we hereby declare similes and metaphors to be the same damn thing, and we all lived happily ever after.
No, he meant that the world is a stage (He wrote this poem in the play "As You Like It") which he meant that the world is LIKE a stage as on a stage people do plays etc and when he contrasts and compares the stage to life, he means that people(Characters of the Play) come and play their part in the bivouc of life (Stage) and when their part is done, they go away (die) and then more people enter and they simply go away too. Btw nice guess.
please help me to highlight the line which represent metaphor in this poem......... The roads are empty, the crowds too small, And no trace of life outside, none at all. Every human is locked up in their house, And the sunny play ground, now looks bleak. Why does our wide world look so desolate now? What a silly question, even a toddler would have the answer. Cause, there’s a monster out there, That can make even breathing like hell. It is tinier than our cells, but it is causing a huge pandemic, If it enters your body, it may wreak havoc. Coughs or sneezes are like its private jet, And to your lungs, it’s a threat. We, who always chat and dine in groups, Now prefer to stay away, And with a mask on our mouths, St at home straight away. Nobody’s going to school anymore, No child playing in the park, Nobody’s even opening the door, Except for grocery or stock. We used to giggle and play On our swings and slide, Now, we’re caged in our homes, As Corona gambols outside. I used to pity my dolls, trapped on the shelves, Now, I really don’t know why, As to me, it’s a privilege To even bask in sunlight these days. We, who are social animals, Now dread the door bell. Sadly, we are told to see, Every visitor as an unwelcome virus. When can we really be free? When can we stick our heads out? When will the dawn arrive? Come on, let us await that day.
What a great poem! The 'monster' is definitely metaphorical. There isn't literally a giant monster/creature; it's a metaphor for the virus which has wreaked havoc on our lives as if it was a monster.
He was as fast as a sports car. His hair was like the top of a pineapple. Time is money. Health is wealth. Your brain is a computer. It’s raining cats and dogs outside. There is an elephant in the room.
By saying that Shakespeare meant that on a stage different plays are played and characters come and play their part and go away. The play ends but stage is still there for another play to be played. Now the world is also a stage and every being has a role to play temporarily. Just like a play's character a human goes through different stages of life and when their part is done they die. But world is still there for others to continue. You can attach the theory of reincarnation too. You come back as a different character. Play your role and go away. You are just a part of the world and the world will continue to function whether you are in it or not. You can make some changes but when you're gone the world doesn't cease to exist. Play your role honestly while you are still here. P.S. I came here without anyone recommending this. So kids calm down as it is a good video.
Try "This lady smells as sweet as a flower" not "This lady is smells like a flower" (you spelled lady wrong and you added a is at the wrong place in your sentence) ❤️
