Question

Read the excerpt below from the poem “I Knew a Woman” by Theodore Roethke and complete the sentence that follows.

Answer 1

Simile, because no part in the poem does it say anything is “like” or “as”another thing :) hope that helped

Answer 2

Simile

A simile is a comparison between two different things using like or as. The words like or as are not in this excerpt of the poem so this is the only correct answer.

Imagery is the use of descriptive words to create an image. Describing the way the birds sighed and comparing the ways she moved to a bright container. An allusion is a reference to an outside work. In this case the speaker alludes to English poets. A hyperbole is an over exaggeration.
