Answer:
her is ur answer and it is correct word by word
Explanation:
The major literary devises, also called poetic devices, in “A Legend of the Northland” by
Phoebe Gary are assonance which means repetition of vowel sounds, This appears in line 1:
“Away, away…. Another striking literary element pertains to the structure of the quatrain
stanzas (four lines per stanza) that have no end punctuation. Each line rolls to the other
through enjambment. It works very well in most spots, although there are one or two places
where the enjambment is clumsy, such as “Where a little woman was making cakes / And
baking them on the hearth / .And being faint from fasting… .” There is both an explicit speaker
(“tell me a curious story”) and an explicit addressee (“yet you might learn”). The rhyme scheme
of the poem is alternate unrhymed lines with rhymed ones in an abebdefe, etc. pattern. The
major literary technique is sensory imagery that includes vision, taste, and sound as Saint
Peter (the technique of Biblical allusion) approaches the cottage and witnesses the baking ofthe cakes, then turns the woman into a woodpecker that can be heard tapping tapping on a
free.
