Is there any form of figurative language in this poem?
the sun did not shine,
it was too wet to play,
so i sat in my bed
for day after day.
so i stared at the ceiling
i stared at the wall
and deep down inside me
there was nothing at all
no anger, no fury
no happy or glad
just a big fat old nothing
that was nothing but sad
i called up a doctor
to say i felt blue
he said "there's not much
that medicine can do;
i'll give you these pills that
stop you sleeping right"
so i stared at the wall
for a day and a night.
my friends said "cheer up,
you have to be tough"
in the end i decided
that i'd had enough

one time i was sleeping on a bench outside of walgreens and someone offered me money because they thought i was homeless

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.

the positive connotations of the words "pretty," "quiet," and "silence" give the excerpt a tone of nervousness. i think its this
