Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"I'm Nobody! Who are you? How does the speaker use diction and figurative language to portray what it’s like to be a “Somebody” and how does this impact the meaning of the text? Cite evidence from the poem to support your answer.
"
Answer:
The poem "Im nobody, who are you?" was written by Emily Dickinson. The author used the diction to highlight the difference in the concepts brought by the words "nobody" and "someone", in addition to highlighting the meaning of these words in people's lives. Figurative language was used as a way of showing comparisons between real life situations and the need to be something substantial and important.
Explanation:
The diction within the literature refers to the choice of vocabulary that the author of a work decided to use to express the intended message through the text. In the case of Emily Dickinson's poem, the diction was designed to show how "being nobody" brings a bad feeling and "being someone" brings a good feeling, however it is better to be nobody than someone, because to be nobody gives you privacy and company .
Figurative language, on the other hand, represents a literary artifice where a word or expression is used to refer to something other than what it means. In the poem quoted above, the figurative language can be perceived when the author compares the need to be important with the uncomfortable noise made by the frog.
Answer:
That they're close and friendly with each other.
Explanation:
Listeners get to use their imagination from the sounds on the radio as exemplified by a program in the early '60's called he Goon Show of the BBC in London which was a comedy show with many sound effects like horses clopping which made the program very entertaining.
Well, after a quick sweep of the poem, I would have to say awe, wonder, informal, powerful, clear, and positive.
