The poem expresses that the person is harbouring a certain emotion for the subject however; the subject appears to be very far from the person speaking in the poem. It can also be that the person is also experiencing a one sided love with the subject but was not able to express fully his or her emotion.

The author uses metaphor, personification, hyperbole,  and onomatopeias as it is explained below.

  • A metahpor is used  to make readers understand the connection between the two words but doesn't literally make sense. For example: a) You are <u>frozen</u> as the <u>clouds</u>, b) You are <u>far and sweet</u> as <u>the high clouds</u>.
  • Personification which means to give human characteristics to inanimate objects, example: I dare <u>touch</u> the rim of<u> your brightness.</u>
  • Hyperbole: is an outrageous exaggeration that emphasizes a point. It tends toward the ridiculous or the funny. In this sense, the author states: I <u>leap</u> beyond <u>the winds</u>, For my throat is keen as a sword. Sharpened on a hone of ivory.
  • Onomatopoeia. My throat sings the joy of my eyes

Discuss Jonker's portrayal of freedom from oppression in the child is not dead
DiKsa [7]
This portrayal is depicted in the image of the child who, although dead, lifts his fists, as a sign of resistance. Thanks to the oppression, the child is dead in his mother's arms, "with a bullet through his brain". But thanks to the people's undying urge for freedom, he isn't dead after all. He lives in their memories. He lives as a symbol of their desire to break free and their resistance to brutality and tyranny.

We need to look at the context of the sentence to get the answer- scolded is an ayntonym to commended, it means you got in trouble.

And if Donnie was <em>volunteering</em>, meaning working for a non-profit organization, then he couldn't have gotten paid or promoted.
