Read the epitaphs of mr. and mrs. purkapile from the spoon river anthology and answer the question that follows.
mrs. purkapile

he ran away and was gone for a year.
when he came home he told me the silly story
of being kidnapped by pirates on lake michigan
and kept in chains so he could not write me.
i pretended to believe it, though i knew very well
what he was doing, and that he met
the milliner, mrs. williams, now and then
when she went to the city to buy goods, as she said.
but a promise is a promise
and marriage is marriage,
and out of respect for my own character
i refused to be drawn into a divorce
by the scheme of a husband who had merely grown tired
of his marital vow and duty.

mr. purkapile

she loved me.
oh! how she loved me i never had a chance to escape
from the day she first saw me.
but then after we were married i thought
she might prove her mortality and let me out,
or she might divorce me. but few die, none resign.
then i ran away and was gone a year on a lark.
but she never complained. she said all would be well
that i would return. and i did return.
i told her that while taking a row in a boat
i had been captured near van buren street
by pirates on lake michigan,
and kept in chains, so i could not write her.
she cried and kissed me, and said it was cruel,
outrageous, inhuman! i then concluded our marriage
was a divine dispensation
and could not be dissolved,
except by death.
i was right.

how is mr. purkapile like his spoon river neighbor, mrs. mcgee?

Chicago by carl sandburg hog butcher for the world, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and the nation's freight handler; stormy, husky, brawling, city of the big shoulders: they tell me you are wicked and i believe them, for i have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. and they tell me you are crooked and i yes, it is true i have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. and they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: on the faces of women and children i have seen the marks of wanton hunger. and having answered so i turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and i give them back the sneer and say to them: come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning. flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, bareheaded, shoveling, wrecking, planning, building, breaking, rebuilding, under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse. and under his ribs the heart of the people, laughing! laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be hog butcher, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and freight handler to the nation. which type of figurative language does the poet use most often in "chicago"? a. rhyme b. simile c. metaphor d. personification
