What is conceit?Conceit, a term used more frequently in genre fiction in current literary criticism, is a long-winded rhetorical device that alludes to a circumstance that either doesn't exist or only occurs infrequently but is essential to the plot.
A conceit originally refers to a prolonged metaphor with a convoluted logic that controls a poetry passage or complete poem in the positive sense. A conceit invites or challenges the reader to uncover a more comprehensive grasp of an object of comparison by unexpectedly juxtaposing images and concepts.

Write down a Story, an event or an incident (200 words only) using all five steps of Writing process. Make sure all steps are in the answer namely Pre-writing,Drafting, Revision, Editing and Publishing.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Pre-writing.
I did some research about the Mexican presidential elections of 2018. I found good sources.
Drafting.
The Mexican Presidential elections of 2018 changed the face of Mexico.
After 40 years of neoliberal economic structure that only impoverished the country, leftist candidate Andrés ManuelLópez Obrador won the election with more than 30 million votes, an impressive deed which established a record in people´s participation.
Mexicans were tired of the economic problems left by neoliberal politicians who applied the economic concepts of that system, which only resulted in inequity, poverty, and injustice for the Mexican people; getting the rich, richer, and the poor poorer.
Since Andrés Manuel López Obrador became President of México, the powerful and wealthy elite formed by businessmen have questioned his policies. On the other hand, most of the citizens have expressed their total support for what has been called "the 4th. National Transformation. (The Independence was the 1st, the Mexican Revolution was the 2nd, and the Reformation Era was the 3rd).
Revision.
After revision, I realized I needed a strong conclusion. So I included one.
President López Obrador is finishing his second year as the leader of México. He has made some good accomplishments combating crime, creating social programs for the poor, and initiating major infrastructure projects such as the construction of a new airport for México City, the southeastern Mayan railway system, and new oil plants in the state of Tabasco.
Could he sustain the hard work for four more years to really change the face of México?
Editing
I asked a friend of mine to read it. After some general comments, I am ready for the Publishing part of the process.

someone, please explain to me these poem lines (DETAILED)
'And when I go to dancing-class on Saturdays at three,
I find the First Position very difficult for me.
Though I put my best foot foremost, and good time I try to keep,
To my chagrin, I often find a foot or two asleep.
Athletics I attempted, but, alas! I must admit
That every exercise I tried I put my foot in it.
I think I'll join a foot-ball team,--as many friends suggest,--
Before I've one foot in the grave and gout in all the rest.
But now I'll say good-morning; for, my friend, I have to stop
To get my boots blacked neatly at this little boot-black's shop;
And, as you may imagine, it will keep me here some time,
But, what is worse, I'll have to pay him many a hard-earned dime.'
The centipede want to polish his shoes but it will take some time and he will have to pay for making the shoes back
And as he went he murmured, in a thoughtful undertone:
'I'm a happy little Spider, and I'm very glad indeed,
That I was born an octoped and not a centipede!'
Answer:
the narrator is saying that at all these things they attempted they failed and closer to the end they are talking about going to get their shoes shined and having to pay the shoe shiner

Answer:
Explanation:
Muhammad Ali is a retired American professional boxer who was born on 17th January 1942 as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. Despite his having a polarizing and controversial figure during his early stages of his career today most people regard Ali as the greatest boxer in the heavyweight category. In addition to his highly regarded skills in the ring, he also exemplified different values outside the ring that includes insistence on the freedom of religion and racial justice.

His strong involvement with the religious beliefs of Islamic and his stand against the involvement of United States in the Vietnam War resulted to him being stripped of his title and also he was arrested.

When you read a book, writing can have a kind of personality. You get a feeling for who the writer is and what he or she might be like to talk to in person. What's your writing voice?
Take a few minutes to write a journal entry about the unspoken laws, rules, and codes that you have in your life. What "rules" determine how your friends interact? Are there any "laws" that you have within your family? Pick one of these rules and write a quick story related to it. Think about writing in a voice that captures the way you might speak to a friend.
Your response should be at least 150 words in length.
Answer:
The unspoken rules in my house are: say yes ma'am, no ma'am, no sir, yes sir; be back home by 6, be in bed by 8 then you can read till 8:30, treat people the way you want to be treated, and have proper manners like saying please and thank you. My mom always says that if you don't treat people you want to be treated, then they will treat you the way you treat them, or if they are still kind to you, karma will get back at you three times, and each time will be worse than the last until you learn your lesson. My Mom and Dad agree that kid should treat their elders and people they meet with respect, so they make sure I say yes ma'am, yes sir, and say, please and thank you, so you are polite to people. My mom says I need to be home by 6, so we can have dinner, shower, feed the animals, and still have family time, and so she knows where I am at all times. Then there's the 8 o'clock bedtime where I have to be in bed by then, so I have time to wind down and read some so I can fall asleep because I can't sleep If I don't read before going to bed.
