Question

Think of two seemingly different processes that are in some way similar to each other. Then list the stages of each process and try to think of vivid images, or word pictures, to describe each stage. Write a poem in which you develop an extended conceit by directly comparing each of the corresponding stages of the two processes. Your poem doesn't need to have rhythm or a definite structure. When you revise, make sure that the comparison you are making is clear and that you have used vivid imagery in your descriptions.

Answer 6

ok, let me try. I give you 2 situations. You compare the similarity between the 2 and write out the poem by yourself. OK?
Or let me write out something from my country:
I cannot touch your heart because there is no way to go
the graph of the heart function has no asymtote
It lasts long and repeat as "pi"
Eventhough I try, I cannot get the last number of its decimal .
The moment I am seeing you is the division with its remainder.
Your eyes are the remainder in my heart

Answer 7

FireJay, you haven't even responded. What are you even having help with. This is easy.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I really don't understand the question at all, sorry... Not my expertise... But good luck!

Answer 10

We just learned this yesterday, but I just don't really get it

Answer 11

Well I don't get it well, so could you help me. We have to think of something really concrete and something not so concrete or both could be concrete. My first metaphor was: My fists are tornadoes.

Answer 12

>Think of two seemingly different processes tat are in some way similar to each other.

Its asking for an oxymoron. Swimming and running are two different processes.

>Then list the stages of each process and try to think of vivid images, or word pictures, to describe each stage.

Swimming: The crystal water is around me, the radiant light shines from the sky, my body is cold and wet. The wind is blowing slightly, but people are cheering on the sideline. I go down! Up! down! The water makes my vision blurry and my cardiovascular system is exhausted.

Running: The sun welcomes me at dawn. The sky is blue and the horizon is scattered with filament clouds; long clouds that stretch across the sky. The sapphire gleam shines. The woodland air smothers me. The critters are out and the birds singing. One Step! Two steps! Three steps! I run and run for miles. Sweat drips down my body and my lungs are pushed to their limit.

>Write a poem in which you develop an extended conceit by directly comparing each of the corresponding stages of the two processes.

Both alike in shape and form
Sweat, sweat, sweat drips and pours
We are exhausted to no end
But we will swim, run, swim as men.

Like the heat and enthusiasm that comes with
So shall both benefit your health within
From the kicking movement of both legs
To the bobbing and weaving of our heads

There. You also gave me absolutely no structure or idea from the lesson. So if its wrong, then its your fault.

Answer 13

The Poem doesn't have to have a structure or rhythm; it can to make the poem flow. @Compassionate It says it in the instructions: "Your poem doesn't need to have rhythm or a definite structure. When you revise, make sure that the comparison you are making is clear and that you have used vivid imagery in your descriptions."

Answer 14

@Compassionate Write a poem in which you develop an extended conceit by directly comparing each of the corresponding stages of the two processes.

Answer 15

You can do the last step, right? I've eliminated everything else.

Answer 16

The last step is to revise right, so make sure I can see pictures and make sure it's clear

Answer 17

Use imagery. Are you familiar with the literary term: Imaginary?

It means use descriptions. e.g.,

He swam around the crystal clear lake
Using much strain
Like the running along sea shore in pain
From exhaustion day-to-day
Both alike and both the same

Answer 18

Was this your poem:

Both alike in shape and form
Sweat, sweat, sweat drips and pours
We are exhausted to no end
But we will swim, run, swim as men.

Like the heat and enthusiasm that comes with
So shall both benefit your health within
From the kicking movement of both legs
To the bobbing and weaving of our heads

Answer 19

Yes.
