<span>The eighth stanza in Robert Lowell’s “For the Union Dead” opens with: “The monument sticks like a fishbone / in the city's throat.” This line employs two figures of speech: simile and personification. The term "like" signals the simile comparing the monument to a fishbone, while the city is given human qualities, described as having a throat, which exemplifies personification.

Answer: The literary devices are simile and personification.

A simile is a figure of speech that directly compares two different things, often using the word "like." Here, the monument is likened to a fishbone.

Personification attributes human qualities to non-human entities, such as objects or places. In this passage, the city is described as having a "throat," which exemplifies personification.

  • The answer is: Gandhi observed a man who had suffered injuries and realized this man was unable to leave.
  • Gandhi understood the harsh treatment faced by indentured servants and related it to his own experiences in India, where he felt confined to his society; crossing blackwater would mean losing his caste.
  • Later, he encounters a man in dire circumstances as a result of his labor. Gandhi recognized that similar situations confronted the indentured worker: they lacked the freedom to leave their jobs because they were considered "property of their master," facing legal repercussions if they attempted to escape.
