Read the following poem and then select the correct answer to the question below:“I’m Nobody! Who are you?” By Emily Dickinson

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

The phrase like a Frog reveals the poet thinks that being well known is as

unpleasant as croaking and splashing all day
fun as playing in the water and being agile
legendary as being the subject of a fairy tale
confusing as turning into a different creature

Answer 1
Answer:

The phrase "like a toad" reveals that the poet thinks being well known is as unpleasant as croaking and sneezing all day long.

The comparison with the frog in the poem is made in a perjorative way, as if to be known, made the author disgusting and unpleasant. This reinforces the poet's desire to be unknown and the comfort she feels for being "nobody".

This is a quote from "Life of Pi" and I'm trying to figure out what kind of literary device it is, "My Roman soldier stood in the schoolyard one morning when I was twelve... He saw me and a flash of evil genius lit up his dull mind. He raised his arm, pointed at me and shouted, 'It's P*ssing Patel!'... I walked in last, wearing my crown of thorns". I'm thinking it's a metaphor but I'm not too sure. Can you also explain what kind of impact this quote would have on a reader (connection and empathy, make the abstract concrete, motivate the reader to act, feel or experience etc.)? Thank you!
