Describe how Wheatley uses figurative language and symbolism to convey her message about God in "An Hymn to the Evening."
Lerok [7]

Answer and explanation:

In her poem "An Hymn to the Evening", author Phillis Wheatley uses the sunset and arrival of spring to "sing" to God - a hymn is a song or a poem dedicated to God. The speaker describes how the exploding beauty of the sunset fills her heart with gratitude. As the night comes, she is thankful to have lived another day, and also thankful for the rest she will have. She will wake up "refined", having spent the night in restful sleep, protected by God.

To convey such beautiful message, Wheatley uses figurative language. We can find metaphor and personification in the poem. A metaphor is a comparison  between two different things. This figurative device does not use words such as "like" or "as", it simply states that thing A is thing B. When the speaker compares our bodies to God's temples, she is employing a metaphor:

So may our breasts with ev'ry virtue glow,

The living temples of our God below!

Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics or abilities are attributed to objects or animals. It makes them seem wiser, as if they did something on purpose. In this poem, nature's purpose is most likely to glorify God:

Soon as the sun forsook the eastern main

The pealing thunder shook the heav'nly plain;

[...]

Soft purl the streams, the birds renew their notes,

[...]

Night's leaden sceptre seals my drowsy eyes,

The sun, the stream, the night are not living beings. Literally speaking, they cannot forsake, purl, or carry a sceptre - the sceptre itself is figurative. Personification is thus employed to give them qualities that make them sound capable of intent and reasoning.

An allusion is a direct or indirect reference to something historical, literacy, religious, or mythical. Allusions can help peop
Neporo4naja [7]

This question is missing the answer options. I have found them online. They are the following:

A. "She reached the end of the street and made one majestic leap..."

B. "The stray cat stalked down the street."

C. "Her walk was proud..."

D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."

Answer:

The detail that contains an allusion is:

D. "... she settled over a meal of broken bones, a back alley Cleopatra."

Explanation:

As is explained in the instructions, an allusion is a reference to a famous character or person, one whose story - true or fictional - is well known.

<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, the allusion takes place when the author mentions Cleopatra, a famous queen from Ancient Egypt. By comparing the cat to Cleopatra, the narrator is attributing characteristics of the queen to the animal - dignity, pride, beauty, elegance. </u>The allusion makes is possible for the author to not have to say those words. Since everyone knows who Cleopatra was and what traits and behaviors she was famous for, by simply alluding to her, the author conveys a deeper description.
