The line "And I'm putting down roots in your frozen fields" contains the following literary elements:

  1. Metaphor - The phrase "putting down roots" is a metaphor that suggests establishing oneself or becoming part of a community, rather than a literal action of planting roots.

  2. Imagery - The mention of "frozen fields" evokes a visual image that can create a visceral response in the reader, painting a picture of the setting.

  3. Symbolism - The "frozen fields" could symbolize the harshness or challenges of the environment, as well as the idea of growth and resilience in difficult circumstances.

So the correct selections would be Metaphor, Imagery, and Symbolism. Simile is not applicable here, as a simile would involve a comparison using "like" or "as."
