"Jade Flower Palace" by Tu Fu uses several literary devices such as symbolism (jade flower palace representing fleeting beauty), imagery (descriptions of the moon and landscape), and metaphor (comparing transient beauty to blooming flowers). The poem also employs personification by giving human characteristics to nature, like when the moon is described as "shy and cold".

Rhyme scheme and metaphor are the two poetic devices in William Wordsworth's poem "Memory." The poem uses a rhyme scheme of abab. The metaphor is of a pencil being compared to memory. The speaker says that the "pencil" of memory often softens the edges or changes the memory slightly in order to make the memory more pleasant.

Yes, "The Courage That My Mother Had" by Edna St. Vincent Millay contains literary devices such as personification (giving courage human-like qualities), imagery (descriptions of the mother's courage), and symbolism (the stone representing the mother's strength). These devices enhance the emotional impact and meaning of the poem.

The poet uses Comparision and Contrast when he says "young trees sprinting" and "merry children spilling". He contrasts their energetic and lively mannerisms with the dull oldage of her Mother. Kamala Das also uses Simile in "as a late winter's moon" and "her face ashen like that of a corpse". LAstly, she uses repetition in "all I did was smile and smile and smile.." to emphasize on the fact that the smile wasn't a genuine one. It was a fake smile to reassure her mother that everything was fine and they would meet soon again.

The romantic element emphasized in the text is a sense of freedom and solitude. The imagery of "rising and gliding out" suggests a feeling of liberation and independence, while "wander'd off by myself" conveys a sense of exploration and self-discovery. These elements contribute to a romanticized notion of embracing one's individuality and breaking away from the constraints of society.

"The Windhover" by Gerard Manley Hopkins contains various figures of speech, including metaphors, alliteration, and enjambment. The poem compares the windhover (a type of bird) to a king riding in the air, uses alliteration to create musicality in the language, and uses enjambment to heighten the sense of movement and energy in the poem.

"She Walks in Beauty" is a poem by Lord George Gordon Byron. The figures of speech that this poem uses is simile (lines 1 and 2), metonymy (line 6), metaphor (lines 8-10), metaphor and personification (lines 11-16).

Juxtaposition creates contrast or comparison between two elements, highlighting their differences or similarities. This technique helps to emphasize certain characteristics or themes, creating a dynamic and engaging effect in writing or art.

Personification, where human qualities are attributed to a non-human entity.

They are examples of onomatopoeia - the sound of the word miming the real-life sounds

There is no secret handshake, specific tattoo, or item of jewelry to identify swingers. Although many have tried it is impossible to unite all swingers under one "banner".

One of the main issues is most swingers prefer to remain anonymous. If there was some sort of identifying mark then once the "outside world" knew of it then the swinger's anonymity would be no more.

Sadly the only way to be positive that a person is a swinger or not is to ask the.

The Wildcardz

This means that if you are held to be responsible for something, and do not have the option of passing the blame onto someone else, you tend to think carefully about the consequences before you make decisions.

The Metaphor in 'o captain my captain' is the comparison between the ships journeye ending and the captains life ending.23

The Romantic element emphasized in the section of text, "You never spoke with God Nor visited in heaven, Yet certain are you of the spot As if the chart were given" is a faith in inner experience and the power of the imagination along with a trust in emotions.

This is a simile, as it compares the quietness of the dog to its maximum level.

Some poetic devices used in "i carry your heart with me" by E.E. Cummings include imagery (visual descriptions to create emotion), repetition (such as the use of "i carry your heart with me"), and personification (attributing human traits to non-human elements like the heart).

Some literary devices used in the poem "Messy Room" include imagery (descriptive language that appeals to the senses), repetition (repeating words or phrases for emphasis), and metaphor (comparing the messy room to chaos or a storm). These devices help create a vivid and engaging picture of the cluttered space.

Poetry is a type of rhythmic compressed language that uses figures of speech and imagery to evoke emotions and appeal to the imagination. It often conveys complex ideas and feelings in a condensed and artistic form.

"Snow-Bound" by John Greenleaf Whittier employs imagery to vividly describe a winter scene, creating a sense of isolation and tranquility. The poem also uses symbolism, such as the snow representing purity and renewal. Additionally, Whittier utilizes blank verse to give the poem a natural and conversational flow.

Similes are figures of speech that compare two different things using the words "like" or "as". They are used to create vivid or imaginative descriptions by highlighting similarities between the two entities being compared.

the poem is about suppressed grief.

the body of a dead warrior is brought home to his wife and she has no reaction to this and is in too much of shock to show any emotion.

the maidens conclude that if she does not cry, all the bottled up grief will kill her.

the first try to make her weep by praising the warrior, calling him a true friend and i noble foe, but this doesn't change her state of shock

then a maiden goes over to the dead body and removes the cloth that covers his face, hoping for grief to flow out of the wife, but it doesn't.

finally a ninety year old nurse places their child upon her knee, and her tears roll down like a summer tempest (sudden and furiously) and she(warriors wife) says "sweet my child,i live for thee".

Once upon a time, back in the days of black-and-white television, I heard the word "watermelons" exclaimed in a TV program with reference to a lovely young woman's ample bosom. But I'm not sure this qualifies as a figure of speech.

From my (slightly uncertain) understanding, a didactic approach is opposite the dialectics encouraged by Socrates.

A didactic form of teaching would involve the conveyance of perceived 'facts' from a teacher to a student. This would be a teacher 'telling' a student how it is, or how it works, often without inviting questions as to the nature of the 'fact' or 'truth.' The biggest problem with this form of teaching comes from the philosophical notion that truth almost constantly evolves as human understanding increases.

In some cases, the didactic approach to teaching may be the most effective way. For instance, I would prefer my local life-guard accept the training offered by his/her certified teacher, instead of trying some new and creative method in the pursuit of knowledge.

Dialectics on the other hand involve both teacher and student pursuing an understanding through conversation.

If I remember correctly, Socrates accused the sophists of his time, who used the didactic approach, of having no real 'facts' at all. Socrates believed 'truth' and 'fact' to be incredibly hard to achieve if not impossible, as ones understanding/knowledge can almost always improve/increase.

I do not remember his phrasing exactly, but I'm pretty sure Socrates believed didactic teaching to be a tool of the intellectually pompous.

But, I could be very wrong about all of this.

If I am, well, I'm sure people will speak up.
