Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech used in literary texts that consists of giving animated characteristics to objects and aims to bring greater richness of meaning to the text and greater understanding and interest for the reader. This resource used in the poem brings more animism to the text, since the writer is able to express herself in a more sentimental way using the language resource.

It is possible to notice the personification in the excerpts:

"It's as if the rain

had pierced my temples".

and

"a gleaming pebble

from constant rubbing

becomes a comet".

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

"For then each tyrant, by the hand of fate,  

And standing troops, the bane of every state,  

Forever spurn'd, shall be remov'd as far  

As bright Hesperus from the polar star"

Explanation:

The four verses selected above represent how America was oppressed and exploited by the British. In these verses, the poem uses the term "tyranny" to represent the way America was governed before it became independent. The poet also shows how this type of positioning will no longer be tolerated, but rather rejected and fought, so that Americans never have to face tyranny again.
