Read the excerpt from "Introduction to Poetry" by Billy Collins. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. How does the figurative language in this excerpt reveal Collins’s message?

C) It suggests that readers have fun exploring poetry.

Explanation:

The image provided by the words on the excerpt by Billy Collins, is pretty clear. When the excerpt talks about a person waterskiing, you cannot help but imagine someone having fun and enjoying themselves. So, when to the idea of waterskiing, and having fun, the author adds the information of poetry, and waving towards the name of a poet, as if to a friend, it clearly shows that people who read poetry can enjoy themselves as much as those who do not. It shows that poetry can be as much of a fun activity, especially when exploring it, as going to waterski.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
