Read the poem "the wind’s visit" by emily dickinson.

the wind tapped like a tired man,
and like a host, "come in,"
i boldly answered; entered then
my residence within

a rapid, footless guest,
to offer whom a chair
were as impossible as hand
a sofa to the air.

no bone had he to bind him,
his speech was like the push
of numerous humming-birds at once
from a superior bush.

his countenance a billow,
his fingers, if he pass,
let go a music, as of tunes
blown tremulous in glass.

he visited, still flitting;
then, like a timid man,
again he tapped—'t was flurriedly—

dickinson’s use of figurative language in this poem expresses the idea that

the speaker is worried about the wind’s damaging power.
the speaker is frightened by the wind’s ghostlike appearance.
the speaker dislikes visits from unwanted guests.
the speaker enjoys this unexpected visit from the wind.

The speaker enjoys this unexpected visit from the wind.

Explanation:

In this poem, the figurative language that the author uses implies that she enjoys the visits from the wind. We learn that she hears the wind "tap like a tired man" and she enjoys letting it into her house. We also learn that she thinks the sound it makes to be like that of hummingbirds, or music. These phrases indicate that the speaker is happy to welcome the wind.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
