Answer:
He meant that painting murals of the rapper was their own way of honoring him and showing their respects.
Explanation:
In the article Street art of Nipsey Hussle in LA Breathes Life into Legacy the author mentioned the ways different people were grieving and making memorials for the dead rapper Nipsey Hussle, he mentioned that while the rapper's colleagues were using words to praise him, for others like Levi Ponce "paint was how they paid homage".
To pay homage means to express deep respect or to honor somebody or something.
So, the author just meant to say that painting was their (Ponce and others) way of honoring Nipsey Hussle, that is by painting murals and street art in his memory.
Answer:
that Whitman's style allows for various kinds of language
Explanation:
Walt Whitman wrote the poem, "Song of Myself". The poem has been written in free verse. Whitman wanted the poem to reach the maximum of people. He kept the words and phrases to be simple and subtle. The poet praises and admires himself as an individual. Whitman uses the simple style and verses to point the common things and their significance in life. There is much symbolism used in the poem which indicates not just an individual but the nation as a whole.
The correct answer is metaphor.
A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech where two or more things are symbolically compared, without using the words such as like or as (because that would be a simile). This whole poem is symbolical/metaphorical - it talks about the passage of time and how everything is transient and fleeting.
