Hello, I am here to find my friends in Korea.
In 2015, as an exchange student, I went to Chungju high school in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea. I met 7 very nice friends there. Sadly, we are now out of touch. I want to see if I can find them here.
Can you contact me if you have studied in Chungju high school. Many thanks!

using metaphor to develop a paragraph
April, like a charming and pretty girl, smiling and shaming with red face, came to the world with light steps. The cold weather begins to break. Sunshine, flowers, spring colors the earth to green. Beautiful scenery and pleasant time, those are the very things each of us have been dreaming of. However, in those metropolises, the beautiful natural scenery has almost become a luxury. Most of the time, haze shrouds the city like a veil, making everything blurred and indistinct. At the same time, a number of cities are facing the predicament of being surrounded by waste. As is known to all, urban environment is deteriorating.
The earth, as we all known, is a planet with a history of about 4.55 billion years. She nurtures us like our mother. As time went by, many creatures were created, while many became extinct. For instance, around 65million years ago, dinosaurs suddenly died out as if they had evaporated from the earth. But the earth has always followed its orbit, never stopped by the disappearance of any creatures. Compared with the earth, human beings are like ephemera. Therefore, in order to survive on earth, man should love the earth as he loves his own life, and protect the environment as he protects his eyes.

How to translate "compare two unlike things"
My teacher asked me to write an essay. Here is the requirement.
“use continued and complicated metaphor to develop a garagraph, and compare two unlike things and use the comparision to encompass a whole paragraph”
But I am not sure what she means by saying "compare two unlike things".
Does she mean that I need to compare one thing to another metaphorically, or do I need to compare two different things?

The Great Gatsby
From the semantic point of view, the meaning of green is light, warmth and hope. Therefore, the green light may be the embodiment of Daisy, always bringing hope to Gatsby. When Gatsby was young, he fell in love with Daisy. In this case, the green light became the symbol of youth and love, as well as Gatsby’s dream and hope for the future. Gatsby often looked at it alone at night, stretching out his hands to hug it. In the distance, however, the green light on the wharf was illusory in the fog and out of reach, like a mirage. This undoubtedly implies that Gatsby's desire to relive his old dream will not come true. Because Gatsby’s quest for Daisy is broadly associated with the American dream, the green light also symbolizes a more generalized ideal. In this case, the author also used the image of green light to reveal the reality that the younger generation at that time led an illusory life.
Another image in the article is the “valley of ashes”, a gray and lifeless garbage dump between West Egg and New York, which symbolizes spiritual emptiness and the deterioration of public morality that result from the inhibited pursuit of wealth. Valley of ashes, as its name implies, is a lifeless place, symbolizing the social environment at that time. The wealthy people indulged themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure, while disadvantaged people lived among the dirty ash and proved to be the victim of the rich and lost their vitality as a result.
Taking those examples we have discussed into account, we may safely arrive at a conclusion that symbolism makes the book full of philosophic and aesthetic connotation. Instead of describing the facts plainly, famous writers often use metaphor symbolization to convey their ideas, which gives their pieces lasting livingness and special tastes.
Other rhetorical devices such as similes, metaphors, personification, analogies and sarcasm, are also been adopted in this distinctive novel.
All of those narrative methods and rhetorical devices contribute to this distinguished masterpiece and finally lay a solid ground for Fitzgerald’s status in America literature circles or even in world’s literature circles.
Gatsby finally failed to realize his dream. However, Fitzgerald’s dream of writing a distinguished masterpiece has come true.

The Great Gatsby
Mr. Gatsby’s figure emerged on the dock. He seemed to be reaching toward something out there in the dark. It was the green light. For Mr. Gatsby, the green light was the symbol of Daisy and the dream. Nevertheless, for those who lived in 1920s United States, maybe the green light symbolized the American Dream.
As one of Fitzgerald's most famous works, The Great Gatsby has always been valued by domestic and foreign researchers. The novel told us how Jay Gatsby, a new rich who came from disadvantaged background and fell in love with a lady from the upper class, endeavored to realize his past dreams and aspirations but finally failed and got shot by Wilson.
The innovative narrative method is one of the characteristics of this masterpiece. Fitzgerald, the author of the book, exhibited superb skills in narratology and stylistics, especially the use of dual narrative point of view and different modes of speech presentation. Instead of employing the traditional single-person narrative method, the author adopted a completely new method of narrative——the mixed use of the first person narrative and the third-person omniscient narrative. His pluralistic narrative techniques greatly enrich the meanings of this literary work as well as make the novel more readable.
Besides its innovative narrative method, symbolism in this novel also attracts many readers. In the novel, rich and delicate use of symbolism is achieved, which plays a decisive role in the presentation of theme and characters.
