In the poem, the following figurative languages are used:
Blue as blood - simile
Protection like acid - simile
I wear him like a cloak - simile
The first one talks about the tattoo on the father's wrist. This idealizes that the tattoos are part of the father's body and distracting like a vein (veins appear bluish from the outside)
The second one is an abutment; protection is compared to acid, which is a substance that destroys, not protects. This implies that the efforts of the father in protecting the child feel like it is eating away (like acid).
The third one describes feelings of the speaker under the father's protection; The speaker sweats under the weight of being wrapped around instead of getting comfortable and relieved.
Hope this answer helps.
This passage uses repetition to create a haunting effect in two different ways. The first way repetition is used is through literal repetition, repeating the phrase "my darling" and ending both of the final lines with the word "sea". The second form of repetition that creates this effect is the repetition of an idea. A sepulchre is an area where a person is buried, and so is a tomb, so the final two lines have the same meaning.
The change in end rhyme in from the first two lines to the last two lines is also significant, because it changes the focus of the poem from mourning the person who has been laid to rest, to the place in which she has been laid to rest.
Hello,
The answer is option D "tone".
Reason:
Tone is really important in any writing (but would be important in a poem) it gives the reader a mood could be sad, happy, angry, etc... Also its not option A because some poems dont rhythm. Its also not option B because volume would be with tone which means the character is raising their voice as such its also not option C because accuracy always matters but some poems are difficult to understand therefore the answer should be option D!
If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!
Hope this helps!
