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.
