In speaking about the grass in Line 29 from "Song of
Myself," Whitman uses which
poetic device?
Sec. 6 Line 29 : "And now it
seems to me the beautiful
uncut hair of graves."
A. repetition
B. alliteration (repetition of first consonant
sound in a string of words)
C. metaphor (something is something else
- a comparison of two unlike things)

the characters in string all have major secrets that they strive to avoid revealing throughout the play.

hello,

your answer is a) the metaphor suggests that the poetic themes are serious and dark.

collins is comparing the poem to a dark room. he is suggesting that the poems theme is serious and wants you to understand it. you don't need to understand the poet in order to understand the poem. you also don't need to move around while reading it. he is simply saying the poem has a dark and serious theme.
