Personification is one. Usually in poems they use that and definetley onamonopia.

These are from "young"

The first line states: "A Thousand doors ago" This is hyperbole. It shows that she thinks of this time a long long time ago.

Anne says: "the wise stars bedding over me" This is personification because stars cant actually be wise. I think Anne is trying to say that laying under the stars helps her think and is relaxing.  

Another hyperbole is: "and probably a million leaves", there wasn't actually a million leaves but it felt like it to Anne.

Another personification is: "yellow heat running out" This is just to bring the poem alive.  

There is also a simile: "and the boards of the house were smooth and white as wax" I think this is just to help you picture the poem's words.

There are some words in the Igbo language that can be easily understood by the context, for instance, the word "Ilo", in the text talks about an area where meetings are held, so this word is a place.

Do you believe that sarcasm is confusing, or is the condemnation more a result of not wanting criticism? Can sarcasm really be p
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing.

Explanation:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing to some extent. Sarcasm can be understood as "indirect criticism", what you say manifest exactly the oposite of what you really mean with the comment.

Sarcasm cannot be prevented, it is a very "human" activity due to the high symbolism, and complexities of human interaction, sarcasm is expected to exist in one way or another.

Yes, the continuing comments in the U.S about fake news may have something to do with the country's growingly "autistic" impatience with sarcasm and criticism.
