1.Explain two similes from the song.
“I got the eye of the tiger” what she means is she is the last time he's picking on her because the eye of a tiger is what the tigers prey sees last before death so she means she's the tiger now and he's her prey she's going to show him never to pick on her again.
“Like thunder gonna shake the ground” what she means is that she's done getting pushed around and she's gonna let everyone know that she can't be pushed around. She's going to make a point that can't be ignored like thunder and she's going to be passionate and strong and make the ground shake.
2.Explain one metaphor from the song.

She's means that when there were things she'd like to say she wouldn't. By biting her tongue and holding her breath she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. It ties in with the next line “scared to rock the boat and make a mess” She's scared to make things worse for herself so she doesn't say anything.
4.What does she mean when she says, “I got up already brushing off the dust”?
She's always been brought down by people, but instead of lying there and just letting them walk over her, she's getting up to stand up for herself. By brushing the dust off she doesn't care about what happened she's letting it go and now she's getting ready to strike back.
5.What does she mean when she says, “I'm floating like a butterfly stinging like a bee”?
What she means is she is going to be a polite person but, she will snap and sting if it's necessary because in life you can't always be harsh or else you won't have any friends and you can't always be soft and perfect because then people could just walk all over you. She's saying I'm going to be a polite person until someone starts taking advantage of me and I'll make a
While talking to Betty, Mary, and Mercy about being careful with what they say regarding the event that occurred in the woods, she says, “Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word... and i will come to you in the black of some

“’The pouring-down rain, the pouring down rain’ –was that what she was saying over and over, like a song?”.
She means well. She’s simply trying to keep people out of trouble, but she can be a bit obnoxious.
“Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way…Don’t let them control your life. That’s just how I feel. Fight for yours and don’t let them go. Don’t let them compare you, no.” This song by Nico and Vinz means that you should take your own path and if someone is judging you, you shouldn’t let them “control your life.” When Nico sings this he is also saying that you should “fight” or stand up for what you think is right even if no one follows or agrees with you. These two themes about judging others and standing up for what you believe in come up many times in the novel To Kill A Mockingbird and in Jem and Scout’s life. The children learn from these lessons and can use it to understand the world better. Although opponents might say that
“And though she breathes the way we breathe, with scarcely perceptible movements of her chest, sometimes instead she pumps her throat ruminatively, like a pipe smoker sucking and puffing.”
I open up and she’s there with bags and big boxes, the new clothes and, yes, she’s got the socks and new slip with little rose on it and a pink and white stripped dress. What about the shoes? I forgot. Too late now. I’m tired. Whew!” (Pg. 46)
"Poetry is the revelation of a feeling that the poet believes to be interior and personal [but] which the reader recognizes as his own." (Salvatore Quasimodo). There is something about the human spirit that causes us to rejoice in shared experience. We can connect on a deep level with our fellow man when we believe that somehow someone else understands us as they relate their own joys and hardships; and perhaps nowhere better is this relationship expressed than in that of the poet and his reader. For the current assignment I had the privilege (and challenge) of writing an imitation of William Shakespeare’s "Sonnet 87". This poem touched a place in my heart because I have actually given this sonnet to someone before as it then communicated my thoughts and feelings far better than I could. For this reason, Sonnet 87 was an easy choice for this project, although not quite so easy an undertaking as I endeavored to match Shakespeare’s structure and bring out his themes through similar word choice.
At first she sees these beautiful words, kinda like how at first in her relationship with Steve it was all great; it seemed so perfect and beautiful. When she buys a word it's like she is entranced by the idea of it; like she is entranced by the idea of getting married. In the story she says “they were beautiful on their own and they were beautiful all together”(pg 95). In this she seems to be so over come on how wonderful these words seamed and like when she was craving the mango she couldn’t think of anything else. When it gets to the liquid she notece that there is something not right, but she wanted to believe it was still ok. “I went over to LAKE and held that and it had litter ferns floating ... It was next to OCEAN which looked more or less exactly like LAKE. (pg 98)” At this time she was getting suspicious, but still hoping and holding on to the idea of how wonderful it is. This is kinda how when she mentioned that they had there rocky times where they would fite, but then got over it and stayed together because she still had hope that it would work. She was less in love with him more in love with the idea of the relationship. When she got to the gasses part of the tour she new for sure something was wrong and wanted to get out of it. This was the end of
She also used a comparison, “Like a little girl, she smooths back her dirty hair and proudly puts it on” (5). She used the comparison to make the reader realize that although she is homeless, she is not any different than anyone
