Discuss what “freedom of the press” actually means, according to the authors and if that definition is different than what we understand today? How does this letter compare to the 1st amendment (which was adopted in 1791, years after this letter)? Compare and contrast the two. If you are not familiar with the 1st Amendment, feel free to do a bit of research to refresh your memory!
Identify themes, purpose, and rhetorical features (i. e., use of language, etc.). Point out any key terms used and analyze how they were used and refined over the course of the letter.
Evaluate the reasoning of the argument. Is it sound? Is there evidence to support it, and if so, what is it?

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
