The literary devices that are used in the poem are given below
The literary devices used in the poem are
- Symbolism: Using actions or objects to mean something more than what seems on the surface. Among the Eskimos, the sun each winter leaves the land in darkness (lost hope). And the next year, 'a new sun returns', so it might be warm again (new beginning) . Again, there was a great noise (commotion) in the igloo. But I have found an easy way to kill the ice-bear. It is head-craft (brains, intelligence), not witchcraft . There was much talk (loquacious) after Keesh went to his igloo. I can tell only what my eyes saw (Witnessed) No one cried at night with pains of hunger (starvation)
- Simile: Comparing 2 unrelated things to create a new meaning and understanding. They are marked by the use of such as, like, or as. The hunters were surprised. This was a child speaking against them. A child talking like a grown man! 'Keesh' picked up a 'thin piece of whalebone'. The ends were pointed and sharp as a knife.
- Onomatopoeia: It implies the sound it makes. Naah! Naah!” the hunters cried. “Ohhh!” Klosh-kwan said “Ahh!” Each said something in his own way. When the meat gets inside the bear, the meat gets warm, and the bone goes snap!
- Euphemism: An indirect and polite way of relating something too awkward or inappropriate to address directly. Put the child out! Send him to bed. He should not talk to gray-beards (old and experienced people) this way.
- Metaphor: Compares 2 alike things by saying that one of them is the other. Go you men, with dogs and sleds
- Foreshadowing: Phrases, events or words, hinting or suggesting to the reader what is going to take place in the story. 'Follow my footsteps'. 'Travel for a day',” he said. “There is much meat on the ice. A she-bear and her two cubs
- Hyperbole: Exaggerating an idea or a statement to emphasise an emotion or a point. He hunts with evil spirits,” said one. “Maybe his father's spirit hunts with him,” said another
