Need help about this question im on

(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.

bearing in mind that painting during the 1700s was a medium used by the artists at courts in order to depict the kings or queens' portraits as well as their power and influence, the painting of king louis xiv as shown in sugar changed the world supports this claim. in this painting it is possible to observe three examples of wealth, power, and influence.

the king is wearing elaborate clothing made of fancy materials.

the king has a sword and sits next to a helmet.

the king sits next to a crown, which symbolizes his power.

wearing expensive clothes, carrying a sword and posing next to a crown are symbols of wealth, power and influence which clearly represent the importance of monarchy during those times.
