Which of the following lines spoken by mrs. bennet
to support your responses to the previous question?

a. "a single man of large fortune, four or five thousand a year. what a fine
thing for our girls! "

b. " how can you be so tiresome! "

c. "design! nonsense, how can you talk so! "

d. " must visit him as soon as he comes."

Well, one metaphor is the poem itself as a metaphor for a black man trying to make his way in a white world and the ways that both are changed by it. Consonance is like alliteration but at the end of the word instead of the beginning. Light, slate, and boat exhibit consonance on the "t."

I don't see any allusion here to other works, events, or anything. Although the list of cities could be alluding to being raised amongst a concentration of blacks since he next says he is the only colored person in his class now at Harlem.

Repetition is easy enough and look for repeating vowel sounds for assonance.
