English

rjkz [21]1 year ago

To determine which figure is used in the poem  “In a Station of the Metro,” by Ezra Pound:

<em>In a Station of the Metro</em>

<em>The apparition of these faces</em>

<em>in the crowd;</em>

<em>petals on a wet, black</em>

<em>bough.</em>

The figure of speech used is option B. Metaphor. because the author is using a comparison between two things without adding the words ‘like or as’.

In this case in just 2 lines:

" (...)<em>these faces</em>

<em>in the crowd;</em>

<em>petals on a wet, black</em>

<em>bough.</em>"

The poet compares the people´s faces with petals, maybe for the beauty, or maybe for their fragility.

<h3>What is the figure of speech?</h3>

They are variations from the way of speaking or writing, aimed at explaining, emphasizing, elucidating, or embellishing what is being said.

They are mostly used in poetry to give them more liveliness.

What is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in "Dust of Snow"?
Nana76 [90]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A crow knocked some snow down onto the speaker </em>

<em>This is the event that causes the speaker to reflect in the “Dust of Snow.”</em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Robert Frost’s poem “Dust of Snow,” is about being optimistic. The poet was sitting under a Hemlock tree when a crow knocked down some snow particles on him. This simple incident struck a different chord of the poet’s mind and changed his view about life completely. So he thinks it is ironic that a crow not related to goodness did a good deed and evoked the sense of finding positive in negative situations. This small event led to the shift of the poet’s mood from hopelessness to hope.
