Explanation:
An imagery and a simile are types of figurative language. Figurative language is a descriptive language where the meaning of the phrase is not to be taken literally or word for word. The phrase has a deeper and more abstract meaning. Figurative language is also one of the most commonly used literary devices. It is used in poetry and novels to help show emotion and connect the author to the reader. There are 9 types of figurative language: Simile, Metaphor, Hyperbole, Personification, Alliteration, Onomatopoeia, Idiom, Allusion, and Oxymoron.
The two types of figurative language that were used in this poem are examples of a simile and imagery.
To explain further what these two types of figurative language are, I am going to explain how they work in the English language:
Imagery
Imagery is quite easy to understand, it is simply the use of vivid descriptions in order to explain a situation to a reader or listener. It is a way of building a picture or a "image" in the mind so that the audience can gain a greater understanding of the situation which is being talked about. Imagery is both used as a literary device and in figurative language. In the latter, it is a great way for a speaker to express in a more colorful way, how something might look, smell, feel, or taste. When used a literary device, Imagery gives the author the chance to be more creative in their descriptions within the text.
In the poem, "Stardust"
The author emphasizes how they feel through the expressions they use and the meaning within the text.
A quote that would exemplify this is, " I will be stardust, and I will humbly stay beneath the ground who will fumish love, kindness, power and wisdom upon my lucent realm."
This quote explains and shows a bit of the author's feelings within the text. The expressions show the author's persepective through phrases such as, "I will be the stardust."
Simile
A simile is a form of figurative language in which a comparison is made between two things which have something in common, using the words like or as. The simile is used to describe an item, situation, emotion or action by comparing it to something else in order to make the statement more creative and artistic. When used a literary device, a simile can give a more emotional and complex feel to a piece of writing and enables the author to better convey the description by using this type of figure of speech as a comparison.
In the poem, "Stardust"
The author emphasizes this by comparing their actions to features and natural phenomena's of space and life/features on Earth such as plant life to be specific. This would include the flowers, wind, and sky.
A quote that would exemplify this is, " Just like the stars, flowers, wind, and sky, I will have a fortress of solitude and no one could illude me into believing I'm not good enough. "
