By the end of this course, you’ll be able to dissect an argument in two seconds flat, but at the moment you might find it difficult to see exactly how a speech has been constructed and how it manages to be successful or not. Find another video of a persuasive speech online, this time in English. It doesn’t matter whether you’re already familiar with it or not. Listen carefully to the speech several times and try to write down a plan of the speaker’s main points. Assess whether or not the claims he or she makes are really justified. Is everything they say really backed up by a fact or figure, and if it is, do you think this fact or figure is reliable? Are there any parts of the speech you didn’t understand or weren’t persuaded by? Make detailed notes of around 300 words or more. A good selection of speeches can be found at http://www. ted. com (or you can use any site)

(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.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.

some books i recommend;
