what the images and figurative about the poem "change" by Angela manalang gloria
Answer (1)
Images in the poem include "dolls that overran my childhood hours," which personifies childhood toys as overwhelming the speaker's early life; "music that like delirium burned my days," a simile comparing music’s intensity to delirium; and "billows surging into spray," which evokes tumultuous emotions.Figurative language includes metaphors like "This drink and bread" where change is compared to essential nourishment, implying that change is vital for life itself. There is also personification, as the loves and interests the speaker outgrows are depicted as entities that one can outgrow and move beyond.
