“Meciendo/Rocking” by Gabriela Mistral What human trait does the wind show in the second stanza? What type of figure of speech is this? How does this use of figurative language contribute to the overall effect of the poem? How does the figure of speech of the sea in the first stanza and of the wind in the second stanza affect the mood of the poem? In “Meciendo/Rocking,” what natural sights and sound does the speaker describe? “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth Look at the first line of the poem. What figure of speech is being used? To what does the speaker compare the daffodils in the simile in lines 7-8? Why is this comparison a simile and not a metaphor? Notice in lines 11 and 12 the poem reads, “Ten thousand I saw at a glance / Tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.” What figure of speech is used here, and what helps you to identify it? In “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” what natural sight does the speaker describe?
