The quality of your videos!!! I can't get along with the fact that this type of neat video has so few views!!! I hope you consider making more poem, novel, or drama explanation videos. Love your explanation

[@GabriellaTavini]

Aw, thank you! Such a thoughtful comment. I have considered it and I’m working on it - so thanks for the suggestion. 🙂

Never understood metaphors. Use to not socialize as much when in young 20s. It does get confusing and odd

[@aliaadiarry]

Thanks a lot for this lovely video, but I have a question, The princess had been showered with presents. Does the author use in this sentence metaphor?

[@SpedSpedding]

I'm 70 years, fat with a beard, with long nails like a bear you can call me grandpaw. But at the end of the year, I'm high and I'm gifted no one compares so call me Santa Claws. Layers of metaphors there. Might have to re read to catch em all. Lol. Santa is old fat with beard. Bears have long nails on paws. Grandpa add w get paw. "But at the end of the day when all said and done" phrase get changed to " but at the end of the year" a refrence for Christmas. I'm high from cannabis and gifted with talent. Santa flies high and has gifts/presents. Call me Santa Claws. A refrence back to bear paws and nails.

[@davidkimbrough4818]

@@GabriellaTavini here is another metaphor. Left them all over the comment section. Some are quite harsh. It's because I listen to hip hop. But the one here is kinda funny. I'm not old or fat btw. I'm really 31. Just had to come up with something. Lol.

Perhaps, analysing upon some works of Ted Hughes would be nice, because I like his poems and mostly due to them being in the IGCSE syllabus. Well I have 15 poems, each of them are p good. The Thought-Fox The Harvest Moon The Jaguar Football at Slack The Horses Roe-Deer Wind A Memory Relic Telegraph Wires Hawk Roosting Anniversary Cat and Mouse The Other Snowdrop

[@GabriellaTavini]

Amazing - thanks so much for sharing the IGCSE syllabus! 👏🏼
