Read the poem.

columbus

by joaquin miller

how does the metaphor in the line "it grew, a starlit flag unfurled! " in the last stanza affect the poem?

a.) it compares columbus's ship to an object that moves and sways in the wind.

b.) it narrates how columbus claimed the americas in the name of spain.

c.) it highlights the excitement the sailors felt upon first sighting land.

d.) it describes the rolling hills of the land that the sailors found.

the rhetorical devices that he used in "common sense" are syntax for his sentence structure and pathos for his emotion against the british unfairly treating the "americans" and logos of what documents that what happened to the pilgrims when they had the mayflower compact and how that the british were wanting to have one religion but the compact said for any religion to be accepted.

the answer is definitely option c. "sonnet xxxi best illustrates the division. in the octave, the poet observes that the moon is in love. in the sestet, he gives his reaction to the fickleness of woman's love."
