The two devices used by the poet that support the interpretation that the poem emphasizes oppression are:
-
Imagery - The poem uses vivid imagery to illustrate the pain and struggle of oppression, such as "trod me in the very dirt" and "cut me with your eyes."
-
Anaphora - The repetition of the phrase "But still, like..." emphasizes resilience in the face of oppression, contrasting the oppression with the strength to rise above it.
Therefore, the correct answers are imagery and anaphora.
