Read and listen to the poem, "The Border: A Double Sonnet" by Albert Ríos. 2. Highlight TWO of the metaphors that you find in green and all of the similes in yellow. 4. In the right column, write what the speaker is trying to demonstrate for BOTH of the comparisons.

The two sentences below are examples of metaphors:

Explanation:

The metaphor is a figure of speech that seeks to establish a comparison between two elements, subjectively, that is, this comparison is not made explicitly, but relates a common characteristic between the two elements.

In the case of the phrases presented above, we can see that the poet used the metaphor to compare borders with an unowned owner and an open door. He did this to reinforce the idea that borders are not designed to separate and limit us, but rather to unite us and make us a global, unified people.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
