<em>Which poetic techniques are illustrated in the opening lines “I am fourteen and my skin has betrayed me/the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret”?</em>

  • <em>The correct answer is personification and enjambment. It is personification because in “my skin has betrayed me” the skin has human properties, the writer uses the word betray to explain the aging process of the person described in the text. This means that this person feels trapped in his or her body. In addition, the writer uses enjambment, this is that the poet moves from one line to the other without a terminating punctuation for giving a flow of thought so that readers continue reading without stopping.  The enjambment is in lines from 3 to 5 of the opening lines.</em>

25. Sc. 2, Lines 325–328: Analyze this passage and identify any lines written in perfect iambic pentameter. Why do other lines n
madreJ [45]

Answer: Because they don't have five feet in the line or don't have an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one like iambic pentameter requires.

Explanation: In poetry, an Iambic Pentameter is a metrical speech that has 5 feet on every line. A foot is a pair of syllables in which there is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one.

The lines "As wicked dew as e'er my mother brushed" and "With raven’s feather from unwholesome fen" follow the rules of iambic pentameter, while the line "Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!" has just four feet, and the line "Drop on you both! A southwest blow on ye" doesn't have the unstressed syllables at first.
