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.

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is (A) She wants to protect her unborn child.</u>

This comes as a shock to her. She is very agitated and impulsive at this point.

Hence in the heat of the moment, she kills her husband.

<em>She did not want to go to prison because she can not bear the fact that they will take her child away from her.</em>

<em>She even thinks that they might kill her unborn child.</em>

She could not bear the thought of this, hence she decided to cover up the murder.
