Me with these questions and ill mark you brainliest i used a lot of points for this dont comment if you dont know cause after this ill have no more ! my life had stood- a loaded gun- by emily dickinson my life had stood - a loaded gun - in corners - till a day the owner passed - identified - and carried me away - and now we roam in sovreign woods - and now we hunt the doe - and every time i speak for him the mountains straight reply - and do i smile, such cordial light opon the valley glow - it is as a vesuvian face had let it’s pleasure through - and when at night - our good day done - i guard my master’s head - ’tis better than the eider duck’s deep pillow - to have shared - to foe of his - i’m deadly foe - none stir the second time - on whom i lay a yellow eye - or an emphatic thumb - though i than he - may longer live he longer must - than i - for i have but the power to kill, without - the power to die - 1) in the poem what is the relationship between the gun and the owner? 2) is the owner a male or female? how can you tell? why is it ironic that dickinson is comparing herself to a "loaded gun" (especially during this time period? )

This is one of the most iconic poems by Emily Dickinson.

She -the speaker- compares herself to a "loaded gun" in the hands of her owner. The owner is a man as you can see in this verses:

To foe of His..,

Though I than He - may longer live

He longer must - than I -

This owner or master might well represent God, a Husband or even the speaker's own anger in relation with the gun that may likely symbolize power: the speaker's life and the power that her words may hold.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

(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.
