i am supposed to identify similes and state why it is an effective description for a firework. one goes like this: "rise like sudden fiery flowers". but i dont get what the speaker is trying to emphasize on about the firework and why is it effective. so i cant answer the question!! please help if you can think of anything. thanks in advance!
Fireworks
They rise like sudden fiery flowers
That burst upon the night,
Then fall to earth in burning showers
Of crimson, blue and white.
Like buds too wonderful to name,
Each miracle unfolds
And Catherine wheels begin to flame
Like whirling marigolds.
Rockets and Roman candles make
An orchard of the sky,
Where magic trees their petals shake
Upon each gazing eye.
By James Reeves.
The words used to describe the fireworks: sudden, fiery, burst, fall, whirling and shake are all loud and good discriptive language is used to paint a visual picture.
