In this excerpt from "Song of Myself", the literary device that Whitman uses to address the sea is (C.) apostrophe.
Apostrophe is a literary device that consists in speaking directly to an inanimate object or to someone that cannot answer.<u> In this excerpt from Whitman's poem, the speaker is talking to the sea as if it was real human being capable of understanding the way he feels</u> ("Cushion me soft, rock me in billowy drowse, Dash me with amorous wet, I can repay you"). The use of apostrophe allows the poet to produce a more creative perspective and to develop a dramatic effect.

This is definetly a tricky one, but you have to go back to the definition and meaning of 'theme.' A theme is the life lesson of a story or any other form of writing, movies, etc. So, I am not 100% on this, so I will say why I think for each answer. A; I definetly do not think it is A. B; doesn't sound right for me because even though the person in the poem is waiting for the bloom, he/she isn't talking just about waiting, he/she is talking about the time that is going by. C; It sounds like the cherry blossoms may bloom every year, but its not completely clear and doesn't fully match a theme. D; It sounds like the man/women is contemplating the life they have lived through seeing the cherry blossom for years. So I would say the and answer is D since that makes the most sense to me. Hope this helps! :)
Marullus points out that if the Commoner is a carpenter, as he reports in line 6, he should not be out on the streets.
