Billy Collins’s poem “On Turning Ten” communicates this idea by describing his childhood as enjoyable, mesmerizing, and remorseful. Through poetic devices such as similes, metaphors, and imagery, Billy Collins offers powerful ideas about the journey of growing up. During the beginning of the poem, the author uses similes to convey the idea…

The victory will be ours if we continue our efforts courageously, even when at times they appear futile.” This quote by Boniface Wimmer, a German monk, perfectly sums up the capabilities of the human soul and what is necessary to happen in one’s life to ensure happiness of any kind, which is to surpass struggle.
