In your own words, briefly explain why you think poets use metaphors to get their messages across to their readers.

Poets use metaphor to connect readers to important ideas through imagery.

Explanation:

Metaphors draw comparisons between objects, but they omit words such as “like” or “as” to say that an object is another object. For example, you could modify the simile above by changing it to “her smile was the sun.” Metaphors can be used to describe both fixed and abstract ideas, such as emotions, through concrete comparisons that can then be elaborated upon by accompanying adjectives. For example, you could build on the previous example by saying “happiness is the glowing summer sun,” relating the feeling of joy to the permanent fixture of the sun.

[ You need to rewrite this in your own words, but this is a version. All you probably need to do is go to Grammarly and double click on words that you think could be changed. I don't know. You do what you need to. I underlined the word(s) that I suggest that you could change, but whatever floats your boat. ]

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
