Poetic Devices- Which literary devices are used and what do they mean?


I know a woman

Indian in her bones

Spends the pow wow dancing all alone

She can be lonely

Sometimes she can cry

Drop of sadness into the bread she fries



I know a woman Indian in her eyes

Full blood in her heart

full blood when she cries

She can be afraid and sometimes she can shake

But her medicine will never let her break


But she don’t want a warrior, she don’t want no brave

And she don’t want no renegade headed to an early grave

She don’t need no stolen horse she don’t need no stolen heart

She don’t need no Indian man falling down and falling apart


I know a woman

Indian in her hands

Wanting me to sing

Wantin me to dance

She’s out there waiting

no matter the weather

I’d walk through lightning

just to give her a feather


But she don’t want a warrior, she don’t want no brave

And she don’t want no renegade headed to an early grave

She don’t need no stolen horse she don’t need no stolen heart

She don’t need no Indian man falling down and falling apart


She don’t need no Indian man

falling down and falling apart


Sagot :

Answer:

Literary devices used:

  • Imagery
  • Symbolism
  • Point of view
  • Oxymoron
  • Hyperbole

Explanation:

The poem uses imagery because the author is very descriptive when describing the kind of man this women needs, the poem uses symbolism throughout the poem to describe the women's nationality. The poem uses point of view in third person because it has a narrator, the poem uses oxymoron because at first you would think the women is happy but then turns out to be sad and needing love and affection. Then finally hyperbole which is when the author uses exaggerated phrases which when he said he would walk through lightning.

Hope this helps.
