alliteration:
'And the faint perfume from its chalice steals-- "
"When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--"
Hi.
I have to do a column on a paper and I needed a little help deciding where these two lines should go..
The poem is Sympathy by
Paul Laurence Dunbar
" Till its blood is red on the cruel bars; "
and
"When he beats his bars and he would be free"
Here are my answers so far..
simile:
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
repetition:
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
alliteration:
'And the faint perfume from its chalice steals--
"When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--"
personification:
"When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass"
If you could also check to see if Im correct, Id be so thankful.

I don't hear alliteration or see personification in those lines. The first two are correct.
alliteration
(w)when .. his (wing) ?
and for
personification
the wing stirs ???
and I was thinking that
"the faint perfume from its chalice steals" .. could be personification but I don't know. I looked it up, and the websites did say I was correct
I just don't know where I should put
" Till its blood is red on the cruel bars; "
and
"When he beats his bars and he would be free"
(w)when .. his (wing) ?
and for
personification
the wing stirs ???

Sorry ... phone call.
I agree with your simile and alliteration. I also agree with the first line of your repetition.
I'd have to see more to decide about personification.

The second line where you have "repetition" includes more alliteration. Do you hear it?
I don't know what those words mean and I'm in fifth grade
