Lyrics and Poetry: The Birmingham Church Bombing

Question 4 • ARC English 10 Semester 2 CR/Summer

Read the line below from the poem “Birmingham Sunday” by Richard Fariña and answer the question that follows. That cold autumn morning no eyes saw the sun, Which literary technique does this line use?

Answer
A
metaphor
B
imagery
C
simile
D
personification

Explanation

The words “cold autumn morning” and “saw the sun” create a picture the reader can imagine, appealing to the senses. This is imagery. The line does not compare two things using “like” or “as,” so it is not a simile, and it does not give the sun human qualities.
