Read this line from walt whitman’s poem “song of myself” “i sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world” which of these poetic devices does he use here? a) rhyme b) metaphor c) alliteration d) simile

Your answer is B) Metaphor

A metaphor is taking something and making it more dramatic than it is. Here's an example: Your heart is stone cold. You see, his heart is not actually stone cold. He's just making it seem more than it actually is. Same with this. He's not actually sounding a barbaric yawp. That's exaggeration. He's really just yelling loudly. They use metaphores because a barbaric yawp sounds way better than yelling loudly.

Best Of Luck,

alright no problem, cool

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
