20 POINTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Read the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes and respond to the prompt.

"Harlem"

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

1. Identify at least TWO examples of figurative language (ex: similes, metaphors, etc.) and explain. *You can do two of the SAME figurative language or pick two different ones.

Hi! Please see my reply below for a few answers. (The examples of fig. language are bolded.)

Explanation:

"Harlem" also teems with a series of similes. This is the main kind of figurative language used in the poem. Many examples of similes are used in this poem to compare a dream deferred to rotting, aging, forgotten, or burdensome items. Throughout the poem, a dream "deferred" is compared to a raisin, a festering sore, rotten meat, a syrupy sweet, and a heavy load. The actions linked to these items suggest what might happen to the dream, such as rotting and dying or weighing down the conscience of the people.

Many other examples of figurative language are found throughout the poem, helping to reinforce its unique imagery. The ongoing use of the phrase "Does it" is an example of anaphora. This word describes the repetition of a word or phrase at the start of a series of sentences, phrases, or clauses. In this situation, anaphora helps to emphasize the question and to create a sense of focus or urgency around it.

Sorry for such a long explanation, but I hope it helps you out. Good luck with your assignment! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
