Question

with mended glass,like bottle bits on stones .


name and explain the figure of speech in the this line ​

Answer 1

Answer:

   The figure of speech in the expression 'with mended glass like a bottle bits on stone' is simile.

    Simile: Simile is a word or phrase that compares something to something else, using words ‘like’, or ‘as’, for example ‘Her gown was as white as snow.’

This expression is from the poem 'An Elementary School Classroom in a Slum' by Stephen Spender.

This expression describes the piteous, miserable, and pathetic condition of the slum children. They are so weak that their bones are visible inside their thin, undernourished skin. They are looked at by indifferent people and government authorities who appear to be wearing spectacles whose glasses (lenses) are mended (not allowing clear sight of the plight of the slum children).
