Who is the poe toaster

Hi. The Poe Toaster is actually unknown, however, there is some interesting information. From 1949 until 2009, a masked man left three red roses and a bottle of Cognac on his grave. He was never unmasked so his identity was unknown, though several people witnessed his visit(s) to the grave.

The Smithsonian website has additional information that may be useful to you as well. Hope this helps.

Take care,
Diana

Match the definition to the word. 1. a thing that represents itself and something else]a. symbolb. imageryc. metaphord. metonymy

mojhsa [17]

A thing that represents itself and something else – symbol. An example would be the dove, or the colour white, symbolizing peace.
One thing IS another – metaphor. What distinguishes the metaphor from the simile is that the metaphor is directly introducing the imagery in the text without a comparison word. An example would be: "he is such a pig."
One thing is like another – simile. The simile introduces the comparison with a word such as "like" or "as." "He eats like an ogre" could be an example.
Mental pictures created through descriptions which appeal to the senses – imagery. In literature, the purpose of imagery is to enrich the text by enabling the reader to picture elements of it in their mind.
Use of one word in place of another word associated with it – metonymy. A common type of metonymy is the designation of something by where it is contained, for example "the White House" for the President's administration.
A word which imitates a sound – onomatopoeia. Such as <em>woof</em>, <em>crack</em>, <em>bang</em>.
Exaggeration – hyperbole.
Apparent contradiction – paradox.
Repetition of initial consonant sounds – alliteration. This is often used in poetry, but also in prose, to help the reader imagine the sounds of the scene which is being described (like lots of <em>L</em>s when writing about water, or <em>S</em>s when writing about a snake).
