Answer:
Literary devices are tools used by writers to present their ideas, feelings, and emotions. They also make the poem and stories appealing to the readers. Paul Lawrence Dunbar has used various literary devices to enhance the intended impacts of his poem. Some of the major literary devices have been analyzed below.
- Imagery: Imagery is used to make the readers perceive things involving their five senses. For example, “When the sun is bright on the upland slopes”, “And the river flows like a stream of glass” and “I know why he beats his wing.”
- Assonance: Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in the same line. For example, the sound of /o/ in “And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars” and the sound of /i/ in “I know why the caged bird beats his wing.”
- Simile: It is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between different persons and objects by using ‘like’ or ‘as’. For example, the flowing river is compared with the stream of glass in the fourth line, “And the river flows like a stream of glass.”
- Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds in the same line in quick succession. For example, the sounds of /h/ and /b/ in ‘When he beats his bars and he would be free’.
- Symbolism: Symbolism is using symbols to signify ideas and qualities, giving them symbolic meanings different from literal meanings. The caged bird symbolizes African Americans desperate for freedom from slavery. Cage stands for various tactics white people used to block their ways to freedom.
- Metaphor: It is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between the objects different in nature. There is an extended metaphor of bird used in this poem. Here the caged bird is an entire African-American community in slavery.
- Enjambment: It is defined as a thought in verse that does not come to an end at a line break.
- Anaphora: It refers to the repetition of a word or expression in the first part of some verses. For example, the words ‘I know what the caged birds feel’ as repeated to express the poet’s agony of his people.
Answer:
a. A religion.
Explanation:
I don't know what word is underlined, but I'm assuming it's "polytheism." (This sounds like it's from Virginia Woolf, who I love (no not in a weird way).) Polytheism means worshipping many gods. You can understand this in context by reading what she says next: "When people stopped believing in the gods, they no longer had power." This points you to the understanding that this is a religion.
hey hasni,
first how have you been, it feels like we havent talked in forever. i honestly miss you hasni. other than that I see that you have a tough decision. the spelling bee and poem are two good events that present your skill. however, i feel as if the poem recital would be the best fit. although, the spelling bee wpuld display your talents in vocab.. the poem recital even will display not only your vocab strength but also your skills in literature. poem recital seems to include things the spelling bee wouldnt offer.. with that being said, i hope this helps you , hasni, and good luck friend.
