Literary Device Answers
1. A. Free verse does not contain regular meter or rhyme.
2. C. Because free verse lacks sound patterns, it sounds like regular speech and creates an intimacy with the reader, which is necessary for the persuasiveness of the Siren’s song.
3. D. Each stanza contains three lines, reflecting the Siren’s reference to the “trio.”
4. B. Enjambment occurs when a sentence continues from one line of poetry to the next with no pause or end punctuation. This technique propels the reader forward.
5. C. Repetition occurs in the phrases “to you,” “help,” and “only you.” The repetition creates a rhythm that seduces the reader into submission.
