Entry 1
I.                   Original version

Item 1: Poem
You're my man, my mighty king,
And I'm the jewel in your crown,
You're the sun so hot and bright,
I'm your light-rays shining down,

You're the sky so vast and blue,
And I'm the white clouds in your chest,
I'm a river clean and pure,
Who in your ocean finds her rest,

You're the mountain huge and high,
I'm the valley green and wide,
You're the body firm and strong,
And I'm a rib bone on your side,

You're an eagle flying high,
I'm your feathers light and brown,
You're my man, my king of kings,
And I'm the jewel in your crown.

- Nima Akbari –

  5. After reading your entry, I have comment for you:
    In the item 3: you should pay attention to some people in the picture. Metaphor: One person is sitting on the head of statue with his hands handed up and the other is hanging => Human beings will be in danger if not stop Global warming.

  7. I think that, metaphor ( status of liberty- all of us) mentioned in item 3 as a rhetorical device is incorrect. You know, in the picture there are some people, so it can't be status of liberty-all of us( metaphor). i think status of liberty should be the world around us. and message is a warning to our the world about serious consequences of global warming is leading the smelting ice at the Poles and causing flood everywhere.

  8. My dear friend. I have to say that you should think again about your last item. Its message should be " Global warming can lead to the melting of ice in the Poles which makes flooding everywhere."
