What type of figurative language is the use of the word Selma here?
Answer: It is <u>an allusion</u>.
Explanation:
As a figure of speech, an allusion is a brief reference to an event, person, place or idea. This reference does not include a detailed description. In the first stanza of “Monet’s Waterlilies”
, Robert Hayden makes a quick allusion to the civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, which took place in 1965:
<em>"Today as the news from Selma and Saigon</em>
<em>poisons the air like fallout"</em>
How does this example of figurative language affect the last line of the stanza?
Answer: It sets up contrast.
Explanation:
In the last line of the stanza, the author mentions<em> "the serene, great picture" </em>that he loves. This is in direct contrast with the first line of the stanza, where he describes a disturbing event in which people who protested in peace were attacked by police. This picture looks like anything but serene - the word serene means untroubled and peaceful, and serves as a direct contrast to the scene from the first line.

The new owners of the land where our trees grow seems not to want us around our trees anymore. But we do not cause any trouble and the trees are really ours even though the land now belongs to them.
Maybe, we just have to sell the trees to them as they have requested from the Don. The Don knows better, and he advised we sell it to them as they are good people. We will go back to our lands and leave the trees to them. But we are really going to miss playing and having fun around our trees again. I hope we find another playground soon enough.
Explanation:
Since the children only really played around the trees that we're really theirs, it would be quite confusing to them when the new landowners do not welcome their presence. It would also take sometime for them to finally get over not going to the trees again even after they might have reluctantly sold the trees.
