Question

I hear America singing the varied carols I hear,

Answer 1

Answer:

• Free verse (Walt Whitman almost never rhymes in his poems)
• Alliteration (Example: line 6, "The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands..." shows repeated "S" words)
• Hyperbole (Example: line 1, "I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear...")
• Repetition (Example: almost every line starts with "The...")
• Assonance (Example: line 11, the words "Strong" and "Song")

Those are the main literary devices I noticed, hope that helped
