Read the excerpt from the namesake.
“welcome to elementary school, nikhil. i am your principal, mrs. lapidus.”
gogol looks down at his sneakers. the way the principal pronounces his new name is different from the way his parents say it, the second part of it longer, sounding like “heel.”
she bends down so that her face is level with his, and extends a hand to his shoulder. “can you tell me how old you are, nikhil? ”
when the question is repeated and there is still no response, mrs. lapidus asks, “mr. ganguli, does nikhil follow english? ”
“of course he follows,” ashoke says. “my son is perfectly bilingual.”
in order to prove that gogol knows english, ashoke does something he has never done before, and addresses his son in careful, accented english. “go on, gogol,” he says, patting him on the head. “tell mrs. lapidus how old you are.”

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
