Well While both similes and metaphors are used to make comparisons, the difference between similes and metaphors comes down to a word. Similes use the words like or as to compare things—“Life is like a box of chocolates.” In contrast, metaphors directly state a comparison—“Love is a battlefield.

In his poem "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," Bob Kaufman often starts stanzas with the word
marysya [2.9K]

"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," by Bob Kaufman, represents the urban poor’s social problems. Kaufman often starts his stanzas with ‘I’ with which he wants to refer the problems of them as personal and to the readers. In need to awaken to the injustice prevailing in society, in his own words states that "extravagant moments of a shock of unrehearsed curiosity," he wants his readers to move themselves from their apathy. The use of ‘I’ refers as if he is conveying from his own personal experiences.
“I can remember four times when I was not crying & once when I was not laughing.
I am kneaded by a million black fingers & nothing about me
improves.”
Kaufman not only addresses those injustices but condemns them. He urges his readers to reject all the social norms that construct society and results in poverty.
Also through the use of the first person, he strives to call for equality in the society.

Why is the phrase "purple host" ambiguous?
pantera1 [17]
Purple host could be ambiguous, or not clear, because of the figure of speech and the double meanings. Purple host could be taken literally as a host with a skin pallor of purple. But it could also mean that the host is feeling proud, hence they use the color purple as symbolism. Also, it could mean one way or another. Hence, the answer is letter C.

<span>2.       </span>"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
