“Harlem” uses sensory details, including smell and taste, to create strong imagery.

“The Weary Blues” uses personification and onomatopoeia to create the rhythm of the blues.

“The Weary Blues” appeals to sight and hearing to create imagery and rhythm.

“Harlem” uses the repetition of questions to connect personally with the reader.
