What poetic device is used in these lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot?

The correct answer is Imagery.

Eliot, differently to authors of his time, uses imagery quite often in his works. In these lines, he mentions arms, and perfume, with references to bracelets and hair, in order to refer to a group of women, who are reoccurring in the poem, while giving the reader a disconnected impression of them.

How would you describe Aunt Madina?

Anton [14]

Answer:

Beautiful Aunt Madina is able and cunning, brave for taking a chance on her own, and ambitious to reach her goal. She is also kind and family-oriented.

Explanation:

Aunt Medina is described as a very beautiful woman, and her looks are compared to the Hollywood actress. The fact that she took chance in international dating magazines to move to America can tell us she is ambitious, bright, and canny. We could even say she is a bit opportunistic, as is taking this daring mean of marrying unknown men she doesn’t know or love for the possibility to move and have money (and she did care for it, as she thought it’s “a good sign” he spends plenty of money for the calls).

She is also brave, as she took chance and moved to the foreign land on her own. We see her family is worried for her, but Aunt Madina boldly takes a risk to reach her goal of moving to the US.

Finally, she is kind as she helps her family, sends them money, and supports them to get them out of the bad situation in Kazakhstan.
