Answer:

Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.

Explanation:

Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:

<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>

Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:

<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>

Write a few sentences describing what you visualized, heard, and smelled when you imagined the poem.
Fudgin [204]

Answer: I went out to the hazel woods

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And someone called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.
