Answer:

It is indeed hyperbole and not personification. <u>this is because the poet is asking Time to take away all his woes and laying the weight of wings of kindness on it.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Hyperbole is when a simple act is laden with something blown out of proportion</u>. here, the simple passage of time is said by the poet to be responsible for taking away his problems through its kindness, when the time is passing irrespective of his woes and does nothing else but pass.

it would have been personification if the winged feet of time in the quotation given, did not speed because of kindness. <u>the human qualities are laid on time by the poet and are not presented as a foregone conclusio</u>n. hence, it is more accurate to see this as hyperbole.

What three things was Fredrick Douglass deprived of as a child that his audience thinks every child should have?
Stells [14]

Three things that Frederick Douglas was deprived of as a child and his audience thinks every child should have are:

The presence of his mother: his master separated him from his mother just after his birth. Because of this, he did not develop familiar feelings towards his mother. He said that, when he knew she had died, she felt the same as if a stranger would have died.

Freedom: He explains how unnatural slavery is and the means by which slave owners distort social bonds and the natural processes of life in order to turn man into slaves.

Sense of personal history: By removing a child from his immediate family, slaveholders destroy his support network and the sense of belonging.
