Which two poetic devices are used in the title of E.E. Cumings’s poem “Spring is like a perhaps hand”?
1. simile and metaphor
2. metaphor and imagery
3. personification and simile
4. imagery and alliteration

Note: I had to remove an m from the authors name because brainy thought it was an inappropriate word :/

Respuesta :

3. Personification and simile

“Spring is like a perhaps hand” uses personification and simile. Simile compares two things with the use of “like” or “as”; while personification gives human attributes to inanimate objects. In poem's title the simile can be expressed as "spring is like a hand;" while the personification is giving spring a “hand” which is a part of the human body that is able to move or arrange things.
