Answer:

In "O Captain My Captain" by Whitman, The extended metaphor of the poem compares President Lincoln to a captain steering the "ship of state" which means guiding the union through the civil war.

Explanation:

An extended metaphor means; A metaphor that unfolds across multiple lines or paragraphs of a text, making use of multiple interrelated metaphors in an overarching one. The "captain' of the title however, becomes less essential to the progressive success and unity of the nation as it seemed in the beginning. because at first the "captain" (President Lincoln) is seen as entirely responsible for the safe return of the ship home.

But, the citizens continue to rejoice after their captain has fallen, they did not let the grief of the assassination on the president stop them from continuing their celebration as well as moving on with their lives.

"I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died"
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

In this poem, the irony is that the last thing the author can perceive while waiting for her death is a fly buzzing while waiting for death to come to her.

Explanation:

  As is already known, Emily Dickinson was known for dealing with subjects such as death. The fascination that this author had with the death led her to write great poems that were highly recognized in the environment.

One of them is "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died".

While she waits for death, and for the "<em>King</em>" who comes to look for her (which could be interpreted as God), the visit she receives is not from any divinity, but rather from a fly, which ironically represents the opposite of the divine, or to a paradise. The fly is the one that comes to rest on her dead flesh while everyone is there with her waiting for that moment.
