Metaphor

As you may know after reading the story, of course the misfit was not buried alive.  What this phrase is taken from is a portion of the tale where he is recanting his experience and in an effort to paint a picture of just how horrible his time was in the penitentiary.  He uses a metaphor by comparing his time there to being buried alive.  One thing to keep in mind as you read and analyze future works of literature is that any time comparisons are being made that are not technically/literally true, it’s a safe bet what you’ll have on your hands is figurative language—a metaphor.

2. Which of these selections best describes the significance of the
choli [55]
A, It demonstrates the speaker only has the poem to offer as a sign of his love.

The title says the words “I am Offering” then continues with “this poem” which makes me think that the poem is something that he offers, the poem he offers can/may be something to show his feelings. I chose A because it seems the most likely just from reading the title of the poem.

B doesn’t seem very likely because if it were to foreshadow that the speaker will offer great material sacrifices the title won’t really fit with it. Since it states that the speaker is offering the poem.

C.Might be a possibility but the title does not give off the vibe of hatred and if he were to declare his hatred for the recipient the title might not or there could have been better words than “I’m offering this poem”.

D. Doesn’t make sense because there was no wedding mentioned and the title doesn’t really fit with the happy occasion.
