What effect does a poet hope to have on the reader when using a simile? a. the poet is trying to encourage the reader to examine the poem carefully. b. the poet is trying to excite the reader. c. the poet is trying to get the reader to make a connection with another poem. d. the poet is trying to get the reader to make a comparison

In my point of view and opinion, I think that the poet is trying to encourage the reader to examine the poet carefully because the poet wants the reader to understand the point of the poet. What the poet connects to and what is the meaning behind the poet that is written. Hope This Helps!!

what do you mean.

do we have to write a essay?

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.
