Solution


Simile is a comparison of two objects using the words as or like. "Her face ashen as a corpse's," "as a late winter's moon," etc.

 "The merry children spilling" is a metaphor, which is a direct comparison between two objects without the usage of as or like.

Personification is when we assign animals, plants, or non-living things human attributes. "Trees sprinting," for example.

Anaphora is the literary impact created by repeating a word or phrase in a poem. The poet, for example, repeats the phrase "smile and smile and smile."

Alliteration is defined as the recurrence of pronunciation in a poem line. "My mother," "that thought," and "I said was, see you soon," for example.

Consonance: Prominent sound of s: Security check, standing a few yards.

'My Mother at Sixty-six' is a poem with a lot of imagery. Kamala Das employs comparison and contrast techniques. The usage of simile has a lot of power and that's what I like most. The poet's elderly mother's ashen is characterised as 'ashen.' 'Like that of a corpse,' says the ashen face. Another simile is used by the poet. The mother's "wan, pale" face is compared to "a late winter's moon." The poem is a master of contrasts. The young trees "sprinting" and merry children "spilling" out of their homes contrast with the old 'dozing' lady within.
