1. Assonance:
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds in the same line such as the sound of /ee/ in “Could scarcely cry ” ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!” and the sound of /i/ in “And so he was quiet, & that very night”.
2.Metaphor:
It is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between persons or different objects. There is one metaphor used in the first line of the last stanza. “And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark” where ‘dark’ is the metaphor of miserable life of the chimney sweeping children.
3. Consonance:
Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in the same line such as the sound of /l/ and /p/ in “Could scarcely cry ” ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!” and the sound of /r/ in “So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.”
4. Simile:
It is a figure of speech used to compare persons or objects to make the meanings clear. For example, “That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved, so I said”, here the poet compares Tom’s hair with lamb wool.
5.Alliteration:
Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds in the same line but with quick succession such as the sound of /l/ in “That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved, so I said” and the sound of /c/ and /w/ in “Could scarcely cry ” ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!”.
6. Imagery:
Imagery is used to make readers perceive things involving their five senses. For example, “So your chimneys I sweep & in soot I sleep”; “Then naked & white, all their bags left behind” and “And got with our bags & our brushes to work.”
7. Symbolism:
Symbolism is a use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities by giving them symbolic meanings different from their literal meanings. Lamb is the symbol of childhood and innocence and “green plain” symbolizes freedom and prosperity.
