English

These lines contain an alliteration.

"Soon, her father grew impatient with her fear and began to bait the bird with offerings of bloody chunks of beef."

An alliteration uses repetitive sounds, letter combinations, or words that begin with the same letters. They are also known as tongue-twisters.

We also know that these lines do <em>not</em> rhyme, do <em>not</em> contain any metaphors, and do <em>not</em> form a narrative.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

Not sure what you are looking for due to I do not see the choices.  Here are some ideas to assist you with your answer.

Explanation:

The poem opens with an oxymoron - the speaker calls self Nobody.  Note the capital N that would refer to it being a proper noun.  Same as if you were to list your name... It also uses figurative imagery.  Read about how "Somebody" is like a frog. Frogs are loud and they croak loud.   This is a lyric. It is about her own reclusive personality.  Rhythm uses dashes and a simile to describe herself.  

Note:  She uses simile, hyperbole - exaggeration, allusion, and the idiosyncratic punctuation that includes the dashes.
