The answer choices to this question are in the attached file. The effect of the word "surplice" is:

A. It reinforces the difference between the natural things the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.

  • "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" is a poem by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) in which the speaker talks about keeping the Sabbath.
  • When the speaker mentions the "surplice," the garment worn by the clergy, she is emphasizing the difference of her Sabbath to other people's Sabbath.
  • The speaker prefers to stay at home, with her family and her garden. To her, staying at home is Heaven already.
  • Other people "keep the Sabbath in Surplice," that is, would rather go to church to secure their place in Heaven when they die.
  • In other words, the speaker is already in Heaven, while others only wish to be.
  • In conclusion, the word "surplice" reinforces the difference between the natural things (garden, family) that the speaker holds dear and the rituals of the church.

Identify the figurative language used in these stanzas of Amy Lowell’s “in excelsis “
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The first example of figurative language is seen in the first line. This line is an example of a simile because it is comparing being frozen and the clouds using the word "as". This line conveys meaning by directly comparing two things which makes it easier to understand its meaning. The line, "I leap beyond the winds" is a hyperbole because it is an exaggeration. This makes it more dramatic and have a stronger meaning. Another simile is found in the line, "for my throat is keen as a sword". Once again it is comparing two things using the word "as" and in the case it is the narrators throat and a sword.
