What does the crow symbolize at the poem fame is a fickle food?
In Emily Dickinson's poem "Fame is a fickle food," the crow symbolizes the fickleness of fame itself.

Give an example of assonance from the poem Those Winter Sundays?
...by Robert Hayden, a U.S.A poet. You can squirm around it to find assonance but, as this is a non-rhyming poem, it is disingenuous to say that 'ached' and 'made' in the first stanza are examples of assonance, or 'dress' and 'house' in the second, or 'cold' and 'know' in the third. But these are the only vaguely assonant lines and they appear different points in those stanzas. So whoever told you that this was a piece of work with good examples was talking through their assonance.
