So Are You By Isaiah Zerbst
In the poem,”So Are You” by Isaiah Zerbst (poetrysoup.com), comparison is used to show the way the narrator feels about someone. I think the narrator is the poet/author because the poem is told in first person. The poet’s tone is affectionate because he is talking about how great the other person is and how he feels about her. The mood in this poem is calm, hopeful, and joyful, because the narrator makes you feel very calm/peaceful as he is talking about the girl.
The first example of a simile is,”Like a rose in the shade of a tree”. This appears in line one in the first stanza. The narrator is telling us the the girl is a very happy, lively person and he is her protection. This is gives one of the reasons why the narrator lover/cares for this

    Shakespeare and Mirikitani

    Janice Mirikitani uses similes in her poem to express desperation and hopelessness. In the first few lines, she says, “How many notes written… ink smeared like birdprints in the snow.” This is showing how the voice of the play has written letters to her parents, but after so many they just become a blur, meshing together until they are non-decipherable. In Hamlet, when the king is confessing his sins and praying, he states that he is “like a man to double business bound.” Here Shakespeare is showing how the king is torn between his feelings toward his brother and the allure of being a king. After this line, he says, “My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.” His guilt and his greed are causing stress like a man who is obligated to two forms of business with no idea where to start.…

    Similes are used to help the audience create vivid imagery or to draw connections between the two things. Similes are typical and common in poems to add effects, mood, and textures. Smile is used effectively in relation to the context. The treacherous brain refers to how the soldiers have to be loyal, and how the brain betrays it and develops thoughts, doubts which should not exist. Along with that, it also allows the audience and the reader to help visualise how the thoughts come to the soldier's mind like gas which roams around us unnoticed.…

    Similarities Are More Revealing Than Differences

    Throughout Al Pacino’s Looking for Richard and Shakespeare’s King Richard III, there are many similarities between both texts. This can be seen through values such as the importance of integrity as well as trust. However, it is only to a certain extent that both texts portray these similar values. Throughout Al Pacino’s modern remake of Looking for Richard, many modern cinematic techniques such as the specific use of colours, rearrangement of the original text as well as comparisons made in commentary are heavily included. Instead of using such visual, modern techniques, Shakespeare uses much literary techniques in order to convey the importance of certain values. It is through the different methods taken to convey the importance of such values that it can be said that it is only to a certain extent that similarities are more revealing than differences.…

    Throughout this novel there are a lot of characters worthy of comparing and contrasting, however I've decided to analyze Matsu, and Stephen relationship. The base of Matsu and Stephen relationship sort of reminds me of a George and Lennie relationship from the “Of Mice and Men Tale”, in which George carries around Lennie like a helpless pet by caring for him, guiding him through life, and bailing him out of the sticky situations he gets himself in.…
