The answer would be "descriptive" words, or if you're looking for a more broad answer, it would be "imagery". :)

HELP!!!!!!!!!
7nadin3 [17]

In the novel "<em>The Old Man and the Sea" </em>by<em> Ernest Hemingway</em>, there are many  images.

  • Line 9: Image of number 40The repetitive use of the number forty throughout the novel. After 40 days ( which is exactly the duration it took Christ to live again) Manolin's parents decided that <em>"the old man was now and definitely salao, which is the worst form of unlucky"</em> The complete paragraph emphasizes Santiago's being unlucky. For example, "<em>It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty."</em>
  • Line 10: image of old age and eyesAt first, the author shows his main character as defeated and old. He refers to his scars as <em>"old as erosions in a fishless desert". </em>But, there are also images of Santiago's eyes, that in contrast to his old body are shown as " <em>...they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated".</em>
  • Line 30: the sea tha main character of the book, Santiago, represents the sea as a woman, "always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them"<em>. </em> He feels that he complements himself with the sea ( man and woman intertiwined)
  • Line 37: a turtleSantiago compares himself to a turtle ( he has worked at a turtle ship before) He says "<em>most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered... I have such a heart too and my hands and feet are like theirs"</em>

the subject of love in the poem "ashes of night", is an example of which poetic device? simile, metaphor, hyperbole or personifi
Dmitry [639]
I think the poem in question is actually "Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

If your question pertains to the subject of the poem as a whole, I believe the correct answer to your question is B. metaphor.

Metaphor means that a thing is not to be regarded in its literal sense, but as representative of something else. In this case, there are no ashes in the poem. But they are a metaphor of what's left of her life now that her beloved has abandoned her. We can also take this as an example of imagery, suggesting that she was burning with love, and now only ashes have remained.

However, if you take a closer look at some of the lines, such as "<span>Love has gone and left me", it is a personification - giving human attributes to animals, abstract notions, or non-living things.</span>
