Line 1: "The searing desert sun was a golden dragon in the sky,"
Line 2: "While the harsh gale whistled like a dying singer's sigh."
Line 3: "Living deaths filled the silent chambers of the hall,"
Line 4: "As proud walls wept sorrow for the impending fall."
- Line 1: "The searing desert sun was a golden dragon in the sky,"Metaphor
- Line 2: "While the harsh gale whistled like a dying singer's sigh."Simile
- Line 3: "Living deaths filled the silent chambers of the hall,"Oxymoron
- Line 4: "As proud walls wept sorrow for the impending fall."Personification
Cevap
Line 1 matches Metaphor, Line 2 matches Simile, Line 3 matches Oxymoron, and Line 4 matches Personification.
Each poetic line aligns directly with its designated literary device: Line 1 establishes an unstated comparison (metaphor), Line 2 uses 'like' for explicit comparison (simile), Line 3 pairs contradictory words (oxymoron), and Line 4 gives human actions and feelings to inanimate objects (personification).
