Which poetic device does the passage most clearly use?

English
1 answer:
Goryan [66]1 year ago
4 0

The poetic device used in the passage is hyperbole. When the writer says, ¨fry our skin,¨ he does not literally mean that. It is just an exaggeration.

A literary phrase and figure of speech called hyperbole intensifies an impression by intentionally exaggerating it. A forcefully overblown or exaggerated declaration or statement that adds emphasis without intending to be literally true is called a hyperbole. Hyperbole is frequently utilized in rhetoric and literature for serious, humorous, or sarcastic effects.

Hyperbole is a common figure of speech used to exaggerate the size or significance of an idea. Such exaggeration or distortion might be used to convey a powerful feeling, stress a point, or even to make others laugh.

Arte-miy333 [17]
The answer is C. Bethany has to be capitalized because it’s a name (proper noun) and Honda Civic also has to be capitalized because it is also a proper noun. Green doesn’t have to be capitalized because it is an adjective.

Which word or phrase signals a transition that shows a
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

"As a result" signals a transition that shows a cause-and-effect relationship.

for ex. My brother did not attend school yesterday because he was feeling sick. As a result, he now has to make up an English test he missed.

Explanation:

"On the other hand" is used to contrast two things. ex.  I like the color purple, <em>on the other hand</em>, my sister despises it.

"also" is being used to transition to another, similar thing. ex. The store <em>also</em> had those snacks you enjoy, so I bought them.

"before" doesn't always mean it relates two events with a cause/effect relationship. ex. I locked the front door before we left for dinner.

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.
Deffense [45]
Alliteration: "<span> as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)
</span><span>
assonance: "</span><span>In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words) 
</span><span>
consonance: "o</span><span>f CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator. 
</span><span>
imagery: "</span><span>As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek" 
</span>
This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader  and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.
