Read the poem and answer questions
At dawn must I rise to till the rock
That our land has turned into

Our woes are bloody woes of accursed revenges
Of the land spirits aggrieved by paltry human respect
For the life of fellow man by his fellow
Kindred blood has counted for less than no value
Brother's wife has been wife to other brother's brother
Communal loot has emptied our country silos
The earth has stopped breathing and sighed
Soldered tears has the moon shed
The earth was scorched at noon-day night
And our land has turned to hoeing rock.

A transferred epithet is popularly known as a/an ........
Antwortdetails
A transferred epithet is popularly known as a "hypallage". A hypallage is a figure of speech in which an adjective or a modifier is grammatically associated with a word other than the one it actually modifies, creating an effect of syntactic inversion. In other words, a hypallage is when an adjective or descriptive word is applied to a different noun than the one it grammatically belongs to. For example, in the phrase "a sleepless night", the adjective "sleepless" is transferred from the person who is supposed to be sleepless to the night itself, which is inanimate and cannot literally experience sleeplessness. However, the phrase makes sense because it conveys the idea that the night feels long and restless. Transferred epithets are often used in literature and poetry to create vivid and striking imagery or to convey complex emotions and ideas.

Antwortdetails
The atmosphere of a poem has to do with the tone and mood that it creates. The tone of a poem refers to the attitude or perspective of the speaker towards the subject matter, while the mood refers to the emotions or feelings that the poem evokes in the reader. The atmosphere, therefore, is the overall feeling or impression that the poem creates in the reader. The atmosphere can be created through various poetic devices, such as imagery, figurative language, and syntax. The time and place of the poem can also contribute to the atmosphere, but they are not the only factors. For example, a poem set in a beautiful garden may have a peaceful and serene atmosphere, but the same garden could be described in a way that creates a dark or eerie atmosphere. Therefore, while the time and place can influence the atmosphere, it is the tone and mood that are the most significant factors in creating the atmosphere of a poem.
