No,it's a different poem, Ms. Sue. But, do you know the answer to the question? Thank you!! -- Emmy--
Is this the entire stanza?
"it was going to be one of those days
jinxed
hexed
hapless
hopeless"
yes.
It looks like personification is used.
To identify the literary device used in the stanza, we first need to understand the definitions of the possible answer choices:
a. Onomatopoeia: The use of words that imitate the sounds associated with the objects or actions they refer to.
b. Alliteration: The repetition of sounds at the beginning of neighboring words.
c. Personification: The attribution of human qualities or characteristics to inanimate objects or abstract concepts.
d. Metaphor: A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unrelated things, often using the words "is" or "was".
Now, let's analyze the stanza:
"it was going to be one of those days
jinxed, hexed, hapless, hopeless"
In this stanza, we can observe that the words "jinxed, hexed, hapless, hopeless" are used to describe the upcoming day. These words convey a sense of bad luck, misfortune, and negativity.
The correct literary device used in this stanza is d. Metaphor. The day is being compared to the four negative descriptors, implying that it will be filled with bad luck and hopelessness.
To arrive at this answer, you would need to understand the definitions of the answer choices and analyze the words in the stanza to identify their purpose and meaning.
