The simile can be seen in the sentence “Only today I wish I didn’t have just eleven years rattling inside me like pennies in a tin Band-Aid box.”

The metaphor, in turn, can be seen in the sentence “I can't stop the little animal noises from coming out of me….”

<h3>What are simile and metaphor?</h3>
  • They are figures of speech.
  • They are figures of speech that allow comparisons to be made.
  • The simile is an explicit comparison made with the words "as" or "like."
  • The metaphor is an implicit comparison and is made subjectively, requiring the reader's interpretation.

In the simile presented in Cisneros' "Eleven", we can see how the narrator compares the eleven years old with the coins in a safe. This comparison reinforces the idea that a person's age is the sum of all their previous ages. This shows the reader that the narrator is aware of her personality construction and the formation of who she should be over the years.

The metaphor, in turn, compares the girl's cry with the sound of animals. This shows how desperately, wildly, gutturally she cried, like a small child.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Trochaic Octameter.

Explanation:

Trochaic octameter is the poetic foot of a line in poetry where there are eight feet/ syllables per line. The foot of each word has two syllables where a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable.

In the given poetry of Edgar Allen Poe, the lines all contain stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables, alternating between the two. This is evident in the first lines of the poem-

<em>Once</em><em> up</em><em>on </em><em>a </em><em>mid</em><em>night </em><em>drear</em><em>y, </em>

<em>while </em><em>I </em><em>pond</em><em>ered </em><em>weak</em><em> and </em><em>wear</em><em>y,</em>

The ones in bold signify the stressed syllables while the rest are the unstressed syllables.
