What point is the poet making through the figurative language in the second stanza of the peom

Hello. You have not submitted the poem that this question refers to. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

Figures of speech are forms of expression that deepen the meaning of the text, but that escape the denotative and common meaning of language, as they have a strong subjunctive meaning, making the text more poetical, interpretive and profound. Figures of speech are generally used to highlight a theme within the text, or a subject that is being addressed. In this case, to answer this question you must read the entire poem, understand the meaning and theme of the text, reread the second stanza, and identify the figure of speech that the stanza presents. Once you identify this figure of speech and understand it, you will be able to understand the point it is making within the poem.

Some examples of figure of speech are: metaphor, personification, alliteration, allusion, paradox, antithesis, antaclasis, among others.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
