The definition "a collection of images" and "special usage of words in which there is a change in their basic meaning with a literal and sensory suggestive aspect" refers to:

<u>Imagery.</u>

  • We use figurative language when we change the basic or literal meaning of words. By using figurative language, we can convey ideas and opinions, or describe scenes and actions in a more compelling way.
  • One type of figurative language is imagery. With imagery, we use words in a sensory way. That meas we use words that appeal to the five senses in order to describe something more vividly.

  • If someone tells you, "<u>What a beautiful day it is today,</u>" he is not using imagery. There is not much detail to the day's description.
  • A beautiful day to you may different from a beautiful day to this person, so you will likely imagine something distinct from what he wants to convey.
  • Now, that same person could use imagery by saying, "The blue sky stretches to as far as the eye can see. The sun, shining down its yellowish rays, disappears only occasionally behind a cotton-like cloud. A soft breeze touches the trees lightly, having them sway in the sunlit meadow."
  • The example above uses imagery that allows you to clearly visualize what the beautiful day looks like. By mentioning the colors, the sun, and the breeze, we can imagine the picture with more vivid details.

How do the details of the poem present individual Americans? What connections among individuals does the poet Blanco see?
fenix001 [56]

This question is about the poem “One Today” by Richard Blanco.

Answer and Explanation:

1. The poem's details present Americans as workers from the most different sectors, from those who work in professions that we recognize as well as those who build bridges, who make newspapers, who clean tables, among other less admired service workers, but still essential for the country. With that, the poet showed that each American is important in a unique and unique way.

2. In addition to joint cooperation between individuals, the poet recognizes the ability to generate connections, among Americans, through mourning. This can be seen when he refers to the armed massacres that took place in schools and caused the death of many children. The mourning of the children's families establishes a connection with the whole country, which is also in mourning.
