Read the poem below and idenify the figurative language used. Then explain how this figurative language contributes to the tone mood and overall mean of the poem

Fame is a fickle food

Upon a shifting plate

Whose table once a

Guest but not

The second time is set.

Whose crumbs the crows inspect

And with ironic caw

Flap past it to the Farmer's Corn —

Men eat of it and die.

—Emily Dickinson, "1659"

The figurative language used in the poem is the figure of simile language.

Explanation:

The simile is used to make comparisons about fame and unpleasant and difficult things. This can be seen right at the beginning of the poem when the poet says "Fame is a fi ckle food". This comparison serves to create the meaning of how fame seems to be a good thing, but a very difficult and unpleasant thing that worsens as one progresses over someone's life.

It is important that we emphasize that the simile is established by comparing two elements that do not have any kind of relationship, but that together they can create a new meaning, which in a subjective way has the capacity to send a message.

each year on this day, i make it a point to listen to dr. martin luther king jr.’s great “i have a dream” speech. it’s electrifying every single time.

the content of dr. king’s speech, his inspiring presence, and the moment in history all came together to make the iconic “i have a dream” speech the defining moment of the american civil rights movement. but there are several other reasons why this speech, delivered over 50 years ago, remains an example of one of the best speeches in american history.

since part of my job is to people become better presenters, i’ve noticed several techniques that we can all learn from and be inspired by in this magnificent speech.

it’s anchored in a powerful related location

in most cases, you can’t handpick the spot to give a presentation, as mlk did for supreme symbolic effect when he stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial and echoed the opening words of the gettysburg address (“five score years ago . . ). but you absolutely can amplify your message by adapting it to your setting and location.
