Explanation:
Simile and metaphor are figures of speech used for comparison. The difference between them is that a simile will rely on words such as "as" or "like", while a metaphor will not. Metaphors simply state "A is B", while similes state "A is like B."
A stanza, or verse, is a group of lines in a poem.
A rhyme is a repetition of sounds in the final words of different lines in a poem. In the case we are analyzing here, the words "cold" and "rolled" rhyme with each other.
Some words we use originate from the imitation of sounds produced by animals or objects. The word "bong" in the sentence imitates the sound a bell produces.
In a poem, rhythm is determined by a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. When such a pattern does not exist, we speak of cadence.
Symbolism uses something to represent something else, usually something simple or small to represent something bigger and more important. An example is a national flag, often associated with ideas of independence and freedom.
Finally, personification is a figure of speech in which human traits are attributed to inanimate objects. In the sentence, the author says the walls screamed, which is, realistically speaking, impossible. It is simply a way to emphasize the feeling of loneliness.
