What poetic device does the poet use in these lines from “Cautionary Tale of Girls and Birds of Prey”?

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.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Mallam Sile is a blind tea seller, he is gentle, and people usually take advantage of him and his blindness, but he doesn't really react to that. He finds a wife who is not afraid to punish his bullies, and thus return everything that was stolen from him.

Mallam Sile was constantly mocked by the 'rascals' in his tea shop, to the point where any person would be justified in quitting or acting out in an upset way. However, Sile never gave up trying to talk to the women and trying to keep a positive outlook on life. When asked when he would give up on the people, he would explain that he already had, but he would never give up on himself.
