Answer:

Where had I heard this wind before change like this into a deeper roar?"

This quote allows the reader to hear the wind howl as it blows over the hill

Sets the sinister tone of the poem in that life around him is mutating into darkness

We associate loud wind with being scared, so Frost uses this to scare the reader; the reader is scared for the main character's future happiness and feels empathy in discouragement for the main character

Imagery

Personification

Explanation:

Figurative language, on the other hand, is the use of words to intentionally move away from their standard meaning. If I were to say, 'At the end of the play Caesar kicks the bucket,' I wouldn't mean that Caesar had actually kicked a pail. I would mean that he died, because to 'kick the bucket' is a type of figurative language that uses those words to mean something beyond the literal. Since poetry's life blood is figurative language (notice my own use of figurative language), poetry can be challenging for some readers. I'm going to show you some ways to make it easier.

When it comes to literary devices that fall into the category of figurative language, there are too many to list in this lesson. You have some common ones, like metaphor, and some rarer ones, like metonymy, but instead of examining each individual device, let's look at big categories. Some figurative language offers comparisons, some uses expressions, and other figurative language exaggerates or understates a writer's idea.
