“happiness epidemic”
by david hernandez
without any warning, the disease
sweeps across the country
like a traveling circus.
people who were once blue,
who slouched from carrying
a bag of misery over one shoulder
are now clinically cheerful.
symptoms include kind gestures,
a bouncy stride, a smile
bigger than a slice of cantaloupe.
you pray that you will be infected,
hope a happy germ invades your body
and multiplies, spreading merriment
to all your major organs
like door-to-door christmas carolers
until the virus finally reaches your heart:
that red house at the end of the block
where your deepest wishes reside,
where a dog howls behind a gate
every time that sorrow
pulls his hearse up the driveway.
which poetic technique is illustrated throughout the entire poem happiness epidemic?
metonymy
onomatopoeia
conceit
allusion

Read this excerpt from white fang by jack london. the qualities in his kind that in the beginning made it possible for them to come in to the fires of men, were qualities capable of development. they were developing in him, and the camp-life, replete with misery as it was, was secretly endearing itself to him all the time. but white fang was unaware of it. he knew only grief for the loss of kiche, hope for her return, and a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his. which quotation from the paragraph supports the story’s theme of homesickness? “the camp life . . was secretly endearing itself to him all the time.” “but white fang was unaware of it.” “he knew only . . a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his.” “the qualities in his kind . . were qualities capable of development.”
