4) Which is the dominant figure of speech used in this poem, and what is its effect?
A)
Metaphor. By comparing the sea to a woman, the
author shows how loving and kind the sea can be.
B)
Paradox. The fact that the sea is a killer is a surprise
to the reader who has always seen the sea as
positive.
C) Hyperbole. By exaggerating the effects of the sea on
the dead boy, the author creates a comic vision of the
ocean's power.
D) Personification. By acting as if the sea were alive and
sentient, the author makes its murder of the little boy
more horrible to read.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
