Read the four lines from an unseen poem below. Match each numbered line to the primary figure of speech it exemplifies:
Line 1: "A painful joy enveloped every heart,"
Line 2: "The proud wind sang a mournful lullaby,"
Line 3: "His courage was a shield against the dark,"
Line 4: "The silver stars were shining in the sky,"
- Line 1: "A painful joy enveloped every heart,"Oxymoron
- Line 2: "The proud wind sang a mournful lullaby,"Personification
- Line 3: "His courage was a shield against the dark,"Metaphor
- Line 4: "The silver stars were shining in the sky,"Alliteration
Cevap
Line 1 matches Oxymoron ('painful joy'); Line 2 matches Personification ('proud wind sang'); Line 3 matches Metaphor ('courage was a shield'); Line 4 matches Alliteration ('silver stars... shining').
Each poetic line corresponds to its designated figure of speech: Line 1 pairs opposing words ('painful joy') to form an oxymoron; Line 2 attributes human actions ('sang a lullaby') to the wind for personification; Line 3 asserts a direct non-literal identity between courage and a shield creating a metaphor; Line 4 repeats initial consonant sounds ('silver stars... shining') establishing alliteration.
