#SPJ1
The poem uses dialect to convey the tone and mood. It also uses refrain, "ain't been no crystal stair" as emphasis. It adds imagery to the reader, "splinters" "tacks" "boards torn up" "places with no carpet" and "bare" which rhymes with stair. After "and places with no carpet on the floor-"
"bare"
The "-" adds a pause, adds emphasis to the exasperation and gives the reader time to take a breath.
"I'se a been a-climbin on" shows strength in the face of hardship. It contributes to the author's purpose by conveying the tone and mood of a working class, black person facing struggles of poverty and misfortune.
Antithesis as a literary device, uses parallelism to Express contradictory ideas as one overarching and fluid theme that when taken together cause the reader to pause and deeply consider what the author is trying to convey. In "life without go-go boots,"the author uses two contrasting views regarding her position on fashion and its importance in how we are slated in society. Opposing one another throughout the piece are the importance of inner-individuality as well as outward conformity. The two seemingly opposite ideas when taken together help define the constant warring ideas every person on the planet goes through at one point or another. The author pits them opposite one another as a sort of yin and yang where both are required to maintain balance in the universe-at least her universe. In reality her lack of fashion brings her to a much more comfortable position in life as she realizes her career as an author allow her to be eccentric every day. Until she is required to play by the rules and go to her awards ceremony. She accentuates the theme of contradiction all the way to the end when she describes the suit which still hangs at the top of her closet, dry cleaned as if to remind her that despite her best efforts to be that fashion-conscious lady she understands that was and never will be her role. She doesnt fault either side but does express the sentiment that the fact that she never was that person still bothers the little girl in her that longed for acceptance by the masses.
The first, third, and fourth are really good answers.
