English

zvonat [6]3 years ago
8 0

This must be from a standardized test. The wording is a little confusing, but I'd say it is a metaphor. Google says the definition of metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This is saying something <em>is</em> something, or comparing two items without using "as" or "like". Have a good night/day!

-Dylan (AKA Animus)

How does the focus of the poem “Birmingham Sunday” by Richard Fariña differ from the focus of the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by
-Dominant- [34]

“Birmingham Sunday” discusses the deaths of all four girls, while “Ballad of Birmingham” focuses on the death of one girl.

In "Birmingham Sunday" Richard Farina uses verses 2-5 to identify the name of each of the four girls, giving them their own verse in the song. In "Ballad of Birmingham" the mother refuses to let her child go down to the protests happening in the streets for fear of the violence. She sends her child to church instead. The church, however, is bombed and the daughter dies.
