Answer 1

Answer: The figurative language of simile and sensory imagery have been used in the poem "Simile" by N. Scott Momaday.

Simile is a figure of speech that involves comparison in order to make the description more vivid. A simile has been used in the line "now we are as the deer..". The poet compares human beings to deer who walk in a single line with heads high and eyes watchful.
