Draw conclusions and make an analysis.

In this poem, the author employs foreshadowing. Foreshadowing refers to a literary device in which a writer gives the reader a hint of what is to come next in the story. In this example, Poe talks about Annabel Lee, and he tells us the angels in heaven were jealous of the love the lovers felt for each other. He also tells us that Annabel Lee received a chilling wind. These hints suggest that Annabel Lee will die. The effect of this foreshadowing is that it allows suspense to be built in the mind of the reader, pulling him deeper into the story.

Answer: The 2 issues that are important to me are:
1. My work with God. This is very important because without God I wouldn't be alive today and I wouldn't have gotten to where I am.

Answer:
The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.
Explanation:
<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:
- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile
- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor
The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.
<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>
