The literary device being used is Repetition.
Personal reflection into Lyric poetry expresses emotions as lyric poetry always does, but it also reflects on those feelings and makesan analysis of them.
The lines that best represent that element in this poem are:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
He reflects about the wonders he has seen and how they're going to go on with him through his memories at any time, how come did he get this huge gift?
The feeling invoked by the author is to show the freedom of accepting of fate by the narrator.
Explanation:
The feelings described here are numerous in small amount of time. The feeling of the narrator is at first described to be strangely fearless.
This makes one think that there is something to fear which is why it has become fearless.
But then the author describes the feeling by the use of imagery and we understand that Phil is in fact drowning and these emotions are his understanding that he will now not survive at all.
There is no chance to survive so he accepts his fate and feels strangely free.
I think the answer is: The narrator is dismissed by her superiors when she asks questions about an occurrence that my have been supernatural.
I hope this helps.
In chapter 40, Sal receives a gift chicken from Ben. Chickens are Sal's favorite animal. However, this is not the only thing that is interesting about the chicken. The name of the chicken is Blackberry, which is interesting for two reasons. The first one is that blackberries remind Sal of her mother, and the feeling of fondness and sweetness associated with her. The irony, however, is that the chicken also reminds her of kissing, based on the story of the girl who claimed that kissing tasted like chicken. When Sal kissed a tree, she also felt a trace of blackberry, which reminded her of her mother.
