Explanation:

The name Petrarchan Sonnet comes from the fact that it was a man named Petrarchan who created this structure. The Petrarchan sonnet is divided in two parts: one is called the "octave" (of 8 lines) and the other "sestet" (of 6 lines), for a total of 14 lines.  It is in the octave that a problem or theme is typically introduced.

(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.
