ITEM 1: POEM

I Will Be Here

by Nicole George

Whenever you're sad, or feeling blue, Just call on me. I'll be here for you. Whenever you're happy, or feeling sad, Just call on me. You are going to be glad that you had. 'Cause I'm gonna be there with open arms. I'm going to be there to bear your arms. I may be young, or tiny like a bug, but when you're sad I swear to God, I give the biggest hugs. So when you're lonely or just plain blue, Just think of me, or this poem, And I'll come to you.

Rhetorical devices:

•   Parallelism: in the two first cantos of poem, it starts “Whenever you're … or …” then gives solution and result.
•  Repetition: “Whenever you're”, “Just call on me”, “I”, “you”, “I'm going to be there”
•   Rhyme:

o   Internal rhyme: Whenever you're happy, or feeling sad

                         You are going to be glad that you had.

o   Terminal rhyme: I may be young or tiny like a bug - but when you're sad, I give the biggest hugs.

o   Imperfect rhyme: there - bear

Message:

 Praise for a good friendship with the best friends who are willing to share everything together

ITEM 2: PARABLES

The two roosters and the eagle

Collected by Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy
Two roosters were fighting by a heap of dung .One rooster was stronger than the other. He fought the other rooster and drove him away from the dung. The hens crowded round the rooster and praised him.
The rooster wanted everyone in the neighbouring yard to hear of his strength and prowess. So he flew up onto the shed, flapped his wings and cried out:
" Look at me, everyone. I beat a rooster! There is no other rooster in the world as strong as me."
At the moment, an eagle flew up, knocked the rooster down, dug his claws into him and carried him off to his nest.

Rhetorical devices:

•   Metaphor: the rooster which won implies those who is overconfident and exaggerated.

                            the eagle implies stronger person who we don't expect 

•    Irony: One rooster beat the other contrast with his fail in that the eagle knocked the rooster down, dug his claws into him and carried him off to his nest.

Messages:

Don’t have an exaggerated opinion of your own importance because you may be stronger than other people, but the other else can be stronger than you.
