Read this line from walt whitman’s poem “song of myself” “i sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world” which of these poetic devices does he use here? a) rhyme b) metaphor c) alliteration d) simile

Your answer is B) Metaphor

A metaphor is taking something and making it more dramatic than it is. Here's an example: Your heart is stone cold. You see, his heart is not actually stone cold. He's just making it seem more than it actually is. Same with this. He's not actually sounding a barbaric yawp. That's exaggeration. He's really just yelling loudly. They use metaphores because a barbaric yawp sounds way better than yelling loudly.

Best Of Luck,

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
