A poem - What school is like
Please help me to check the poem.
School is like a prison.
We can't leave.
School is like an island.
We are all ttrapped.
School is like a salad.
You have to put something on it to make it better.
School is like a stupid cat.
It never dies.
School is like a garbage truck.
It smells, it's big and you can see it from a mile away.
School is like going to jail.
You never want to go back.

Very good, Vincent. Put a comma after 'big', and there's only one 't' in 'trapped'.

Why would it be, ferdis? This is three independent clauses.

It's a list of three items joined by listing commas. It smells AND it's big AND it can be seen from a mile away.
If it really were three independent clauses joined by 'and' in the role of a coordinating conjunction, then the comma after 'smells' would be a splice.
