Here, Cathy Song compares a girl’s shoulder to the shape of a hill’s incline using simile:

“and the curve of a shoulder
like the slope of a hill
set deep in snow in a country
of huge white solemn birds.”



Here, the poet compares to dipping of a sleeve to that of a brush in water using simile:

“She dips a corner of her sleeve
like a brush into water
to wipe the mirror;”


Is that the answer you were looking for or no? Or I was I being too literal/broad in looking for simile in the poem?

The athlete goal is to win to medal at all of her competition this season.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The <u>athlete's</u> goal is to win <u>medals</u> at all of her <u>competitions</u> this season.

Explanation:

The given sentence has been rewritten by converting each bold word as per its use in the sentence. The word 'athlete' will employ an apostrophe followed by s('s) to show possession of the goal. While the word 'medal' will be converted to the plural 'medals' as there is no indefinite article given to clarify that the athlete is willing to win only one medal. Similary, 'competition' will be converted to plural 'competitions' as signaled by the use of 'all' which signifies plurality. Thus, the <u>first shows possession, and the other two reflect 'more than one.</u>'
