If you have read the book and/or the linked ideas above, you should have no problems with the poem.

Do you need webpages to explain literary devices?

Oh no, we didn't read the book, just the poem, and thanks for the help , i figured it out just fine :)

Answer 4

Oh, good. There are several really good websites with literary devices explained ... and good examples, too, so you can learn to recognize them in poetry, drama, etc.

Let us know if you ever want any of those.
