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

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have to remember that this poem was written in 1883, when America was young, fresh and in need of new life-blood from all over the world. America opened her doors to those who were shunned by their home countries, to those who wanted a better life.

Since the engraving of The New Colossus, America has absorbed millions of immigrants and is still attracting many who seek the dream. The message in this well constructed sonnet is positive and welcoming, but what does the future hold for the Mother of Exiles?

What metaphor does bradbury use to describe the earbuds in mildreds ears? What should alarm the reader about this description
frosja888 [35]

Bradbury describes Mildred’s earbuds as seashells. He uses this metaphor in a reference as people hold a seashell up to one’s ear to hear the sound of the ocean.

This should alarm the reader because the <em>seashells are used by Montag’s society to control information and control potential rebellions</em>. This is a way to control individuals and paint a different reality. Also with the seashells always plugged in <em>people don’t have the time or a silence to listen to their own thoughts.</em>
