<span>The eighth stanza of Robert Lowell’s poem “For the Union Dead” begins: “The monument sticks like a fishbone / in the city's throat.” The two poetic devices used in these lines from the poem are simile and personification. It uses the descriptive word which is like and the city is described to be a living thing or a human with the throat.

Answer: Simile and personification.

Simile refers to a literary device in which two things are directly compared. Most of the time, this comparison is made by using a word such as "like." In the poem, the author compares the monument to a fishbone.

Personification is also a literary device, in which the author gives human characteristics to an inanimate object, an animal, a natural phenomena or a setting. In this case, the author refers to the "city's throat." By claiming that the city has a throat, he is using personification.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

  • While tablets are expensive, most buyers can save money in the long run by purchasing e-textbooks instead of print books.
  • However, the amount of money districts spend on paper used for copies, which tablets would largely replace, balances the implementation cost.

These two sentences are the best rebuttals to the counterclaim. The first answer is effective because it directly addresses the main concern of the opponents: the price of the tablets. It considers the counterclaim, accepts it, but provides a reason why this is not necessarily a problem.

The second answer similarly tackles the problem of funds, and provides a solution. The fact that paper would be less necessary eliminates the problem of cost, and reduces the effectiveness of the counterclaim.
