Question

A sunny road runs through the mulberries,

I’m at the window of the prison infirmary.

In this excerpt from "It’s This Way," Hikmet makes his imagery resonate through the use of _____. Select all that apply.

contrast
foreshadowing
metaphor
perspective

Answer 1

I want to say foreshadowing, contrast and perspective,

Answer 2

The correct answers are A and D.

Hikmet uses these two lines to create a strong contrast between freedom and imprisonment. First, he describes the bright and beautiful image of mulberries next to the sunny road; and then, he cuts the image with that of a man behind bars.

He also uses the lines to show the scene from two different perspectives: the outside perspective, filled with light and life, and the inside perspective, which represents captivity.
