What literary device is most prominent in this excerpt from Williams’s poem, “The Widow’s Lament in Springtime”?

English
1 answer:
____ [38]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

the correct option is D: Antithesis

Explanation:

An Antithesis is a literary device which features opposing or contrary ideas side by side to achieve a contrasting effect.

<em>"Though they were my joy"....</em>then he adds<em> </em><em>formerly </em>thus negating or reversing the first phrase. The same goes for the second line in the excerpt:

<em>"today I notice them..." </em>then he adds "<em>and turn away forgetting</em>" thus flipping the first part of the sentence. Hence the contrasts are used to creatively highlight his thoughts.

Cheers!

Answer:

I would say that the description of Elisa's daily routine supports the author's claim that the fast food industry seeks out teenage employees by providing anecdotal evidence of a teenage fast food employee living like an adult. <em>The correct answer is A.</em>

Explanation:

After reading this excerpt from <em>Fast Food Nation</em> where the author shows how is the daily routine of Elisa, we can picture how her life is like the one of an adult's, but she's only a teenager. She wakes up very early in the morning, she stands hours behind the counter, she comes and goes after the client's needs and, at the end of the day, her feet hurt, she feels tired as if she was an old person. Elisa has a full time job, it is not what she feels passionate about, and her body aches, and that supports the idea of the author that fast food industry seeks out teenage employees that end up living like adults. The author presents in this text anecdotal evidence for the main claim.
