Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that offers a comparison between two different elements by noting their similarities. It's not the same as a metaphor, because a simile uses the words “like” or “as”, establishing a direct comparison. A simile is a figure of resemblance or relationship. In this case, King compares the Emancipation Proclamation to a "great beacon light of hope", and the injustice of slavery to searing flames.

even though there may be variations in human emotions over time, the poem “ a contribution to statistics” by wislawa symborska suggests that the only unchangeable characteristic is mortality.

the author poses a distinction between the approximate and non-approximate numbers which correspond to our need for certainty in life and the difficulty of achieving it. our efforts to measure the exact often fail because the world is not always clearly structured .the poem seems to imply   that the only thing that is certain and has an exact number is death.
