Which type of figurative language is Bradstreet using in these lines from "Upon the Burning of Our House?"

English
1 answer:
Veronika [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in these lines is:

B) Metaphor or extended metaphor.

Explanation:

<u>Metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. An extended metaphor happens when such a comparison continues throughout a series of lines in a poem. In Bradstreet's poem, we have the extended metaphor in which Heaven is compared to a house and God to an architect. Since this comparison lasts for at least four lines, we can say it is an extended metaphor. </u>Bradstreet wrote this poem after a fire destroyed her house and her belongings. What she means in these lines is that God has a better place waiting for her. Even though her home here on Earth has been destroyed, she has a permanent, strong home waiting for her. A home God Himself prepared for her.

The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

What words or phrases does the poet use to describe daffodils as a show
lana [24]

Answer:

He uses, 'Beside the lake, beneath the trees', and 'beside' to give the impression that no matter where he looks he can see daffodils. The simile compares the flowers to a sparkling and endless constellation of stars in the galaxy which is a powerful image as the milky way is a significant part of the world's solar system and makes the flowers seem important/stars light up the night/these flowers light up the path from winter to spring Enjambment adds to the idea of endlessness and infinity - like the flowers go on for ever.
