Detalhes da Resposta
The figure of speech in which the writer means the exact opposite of what he intends to say is irony. Irony is a literary technique that is used to convey a meaning that is opposite to its literal meaning. It is often used for humorous or dramatic effect, and it can help to create a sense of tension or surprise in a work of literature. There are several different types of irony, including verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony. Verbal irony occurs when a speaker says something that is intended to be understood as the opposite of what is said. Situational irony occurs when the outcome of a situation is the opposite of what was expected. Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows something that the characters in the story do not know, and this knowledge creates tension or suspense in the story. Irony is a powerful tool for writers, as it can help to create a sense of depth and complexity in their work, and it can also help to engage and challenge their readers.

Detalhes da Resposta
A device used by a writer to recall past events in a literary work is a flashback. A flashback is a technique where the narrative shifts back to an earlier time in the story, allowing the reader to witness an event that occurred before the current moment. Flashbacks are often used to provide context or background information, to reveal character motivation, or to create suspense. They can be short, contained within a single paragraph, or they can be longer and take up an entire chapter or section of the story. Flashbacks can be identified by phrases such as "remember when" or "it all started when," or by a change in tense or perspective within the narrative. Some famous examples of literary works that employ flashbacks include F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury.

The literary device used in the first line "Oh incomprehensible God!" is apostrophe. Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker addresses an absent person, an inanimate object, or a personified abstraction as if it were present and capable of responding. In this case, the speaker is addressing God, who is absent, as if God were present and listening. The speaker is expressing strong emotion or making a passionate plea, which is common in apostrophes. The use of apostrophe in this line creates a sense of urgency and emotional intensity in the speaker's words.

Detalhes da Resposta
The device employed in the line "Since it was you who in all these thin seasons" from Kunene's The Heritage of Liberation is an example of apostrophe. Apostrophe is a figure of speech in which the speaker addresses a person or an abstract idea that is not present as if it were present and capable of responding. In this line, the speaker is addressing an absent person who was present in the past during "all these thin seasons." By addressing this absent person directly, the speaker is using apostrophe to create a sense of intimacy and connection between the past and present. The use of apostrophe can also create a sense of drama and emotion, as the speaker is expressing a direct address to a person or an idea that is not physically present.

The device used in poetry to achieve emphasis or stress a point is known as repetition. Repetition is a common technique used in poetry to create a sense of rhythm and to draw attention to certain words or phrases. When a word or phrase is repeated multiple times in a poem, it can create a sense of emphasis or importance, and it can help to reinforce the overall message or theme of the poem. Repetition can take many forms, including repeating a single word or phrase, repeating a line or stanza, or repeating a sound or pattern of sounds. It is a powerful tool for poets, as it can help to create a sense of unity and coherence within a poem, and it can also help to make a poem more memorable to its readers.

Detalhes da Resposta
In the excerpt above from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the villain is attending a feast uninvited. The speaker, Tybalt, is addressing his uncle and referring to Romeo, who has just arrived at the Capulet's party uninvited. Tybalt sees Romeo as a Montague, their enemy, and calls him a villain who has come to the party to mock the Capulets. Although Romeo is not actually a villain, Tybalt's perception of him as an enemy and intruder sets the stage for the tragic events that will follow. The use of the word "villain" in this context is an example of dramatic irony, as the audience knows that Romeo is not a villain but a lover who has come to the party in search of his beloved Juliet.

The language of Cope's Sonnet VII suggests that the past event in the literary work is poetic. The language used in a literary work can give clues about the time period in which the work is set, and the way in which the events of the past are being represented. In the case of Cope's Sonnet VII, the language is rich and descriptive, using metaphors and imagery to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the past. This suggests that the past event is being presented in a poetic way, rather than a straightforward or factual manner.

Detalhes da Resposta
The dominant poetic technique employed in Adeoti's "Naked Soles" is onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a technique in which words are used to imitate the sound of the object or action being described. In "Naked Soles," Adeoti uses onomatopoeia to describe the sounds made by the footsteps of the market women. For example, "Their feet beat the earth / A tattoo of throbbing soles" creates the image of the women's footsteps being like a rhythmic drumbeat. The use of onomatopoeia helps to create a vivid and sensory image for the reader, emphasizing the importance of sound and movement in the poem.

The lines above from "Give Me The Minstrel's Seat" are an example of a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in which a question is asked, not for the purpose of eliciting an answer, but for rhetorical effect or to make a point. In this case, the speaker is asking a question about the reasons why women refuse to marry, but the question is not intended to be answered. Rather, it is used to emphasize the point that women's existence is dependent on men, and to express confusion about why some women reject this dependence. The use of a rhetorical question in this poem is effective in drawing attention to the issue of gender roles and relationships between men and women, and in challenging societal norms and expectations. By presenting the question in a poetic and rhetorical manner, the poem is able to explore complex themes and ideas in a way that is both engaging and thought-provoking.

Detalhes da Resposta
The theme of the poem "The body perishes, the heart stays young / The platter wears away with serving food / No log retains its bark when old, / No lover peaceful while the rival weeps" is the non-peaceful nature of love. The poem is exploring the idea that love can be a source of conflict and turmoil, and that it is not always peaceful or harmonious. The different comparisons made in the poem (between the heart and the body, between a platter and serving food, between a log and its bark) all serve to reinforce this central idea, and to emphasize the idea that love can be a source of friction and unrest. The poem is therefore highlighting the idea that love is not always a calm and peaceful experience, but can be a source of tension and conflict.

The lines "Let me swear, woman. And I will swear by my father's coffin that if..." from J.C. De Graft's "Sons and Daughters" depict James as a traditionalist. In many traditional African cultures, swearing by one's ancestors or the spirits of the dead is a common way of making a promise or emphasizing the truthfulness of one's words. James' willingness to swear by his father's coffin indicates that he is deeply connected to his ancestral heritage and the traditional beliefs and customs of his culture. This is in contrast to a Christian or Muslim, who might swear on the Bible or the Quran respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is traditionalist.
