Answer:

After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of the poem.
nataly862011 [7]

This poem is an example of brilliant short lyric which is sectioned into three stanzas. Each stanza carries six lines which help create a simple structure and a regular rhyme scheme- ABABAB.

The author wrote this piece of work in iambic tetrameter. Multiple poetic devices are utilized by Lord Byron, such as alliterations, imagery, metaphors, as well as similes. The diction is also very clear without any complex connotations which ultimately assists the readers to understand the poem more easily.

Therefore, after my analysis of this work, I suggest you to choose option "a", because the author's motif is none other than the option beneath this paragraph.

a) By organizing the poem into three short and even stanzas, Byron is able to convey the work's themes directly and succinctly.
