"For a Lady, I Know" by Countee Cullen uses irony and allusion.

"She even thinks that up in heaven her class lies late and snores, while poor black cherubs rise at seven to do celestial chores."

The allusion is represented by the words Heaven and Cherubs which represent well-known words in the bible and in most religions. These words are emblems of holy and sacred things.

The irony is presented by her position as a high society woman who has black servants and believes that because of her social and economic position she will go to heaven despite de mistreat she has with her employess.

<span>The literary device used in this poem is HYPERBOLE. Hyperbole is defined as exaggerated claims that are not meant to be taken literally. In this poem, the author exaggerated that the lady thinks that social segregation exist in heaven. This is an exaggerated statement used by the author in order to emphasize his points.</span><span />

Leto [7]
I can't write you an entire essay dude...but i can help you with it.

In the introduction sum up what you are going to talk about it...The first thing you write in your introduction should be your hook, a hook is something you catch the readers attention with. it is usually a question.

For the body paragraphs explain a point and give examples.

your final paragraph should conclude what you wrote, your not trying to prove anything just to sum up everything, re state your points and conclude with a catchy ending.

I hope this helps.

Literal vs. Figurative. Literal means the exact meaning of something. The literal meaning of a word is the actual meaning of that word. Figurative means not literal.
