The excerpt from "Tales of a Wayside Inn" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is as follows:
A young Sicilian, too, was there;
In sight of Etna born and bred,
Some breath of its volcanic air
Was glowing in his heart and brain,
And, being rebellious to his liege,
After Palermo's fatal siege,
Across the western seas he fled,
In good King Bomba's happy reign.
His face was like a summer night,
All flooded with a dusky light;
His hands were small; his teeth shone white
As sea-shells, when he smiled or spoke;
His sinews supple and strong as oak;...
alliteration
The famous poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow uses a wide variety of poetic devices such as metaphors and alliteration to create emotional responses. The metaphors help him get across creative thoughts and ideas.
Which is NOT a poetic sound device?
Please provide the scenario or excerpt for me to identify the poetic device used.
It would be helpful if you could provide the excerpt you are referring to so that I can identify the rhetorical device used by G. K. Chesterton in that specific passage.
The sound device used in this excerpt is alliteration, where the same consonant sound is repeated at the beginning of closely connected words.
The literary device Achebe employs in the excerpt from Things Fall Apart is foreshadowing. This is evident as he hints at future events in the story by mentioning the customs of the clan changing and the arrival of white missionaries causing a significant shift in the community.
parallelism - apex
The literary device used is dramatic irony. The audience knows that the speaker is condemning himself to exile.
It is unclear which specific excerpt or rhetorical device you are referring to. However, some commonly used rhetorical devices in Kennedy's inaugural address include parallelism, anaphora (repetition of words or phrases at the beginning of consecutive clauses), and antithesis (contrasting ideas presented in parallel structures).
Parallelism
The type of sound device that appears in the excerpt from "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost is alliteration. This can be seen in the repeated "d" sound in the words "diverged" and "could", which creates a sense of musicality and cohesion in the text.
