How does the speaker’s use of figurative language contribute to the meaning of the poem? I Am Offering This Poem

by Jimmy Santiago Baca

Respuesta :

Answer:

Writers of prose and poetry use figurative language to elicit emotion, help readers form mental images and draw readers into the work.

Explanation:

Answer:

The speaker's use of figurative language contributes to the meaning of the poem by helping the reader form mental images and comparing the offering of the poem to different types of gifts. For example, in stanza 1, the poet compares the poem to a warm coat in winter, and a pair of thick socks the cold cannot bite through. This contributes to the meaning of the poem by showing the reader that the speaker has nothing else to offer except a poem, but the receiver should treat it like a warm coat or a thick pair of socks.
