Question

Which literary technique can be most prominently found in “Garden of My Childhood?”

Answer 1

Answer:

In "Garden of My Childhood," Chang's childhood garden is a metaphor for China.

Explanation:

A metaphor is the literary figure of speech that enables writers to use a word or phrase for an object or action, but which is not literally applicable in reality. Kuangchi C. Chang's poem "Garden of My Childhood" is a poem about the author's memories about his homeland China. He recounts how he had lived his earlier years in complete bliss, with "no wish to run". He recounts how he had been asked to run away during the invasion from "a horde on the march no Great Wall can halt". He uses metaphor for his childhood garden to represent China.

Answer 2

Answer :

The Cambridge Dictionary describes a metaphor as "an expression that describes a person or object by referring to something that is considered to possess similar characteristics." The main purpose of this literary device is to make a comparison between the two subjects based on their similarities.
