The fourth poetic device that I used were similes and a simile is comparing to objects using like or as. The similes that i used were veins coursing like a river and thoughts like war. The fifth and final poetic device that I used was imagery. imagery is visually descriptive or figurative language. The imagery that I used was the line Still holding a smoking gun and it puts a picture in your mind of what is happening. These poetic devices support my theme because the onomatopoeia shows how the boy cries out when he is being bullied, and this shows how he is losing his gentle view of the world when he moves from unhurt innocence to having experienced the reality of how harsh life can be. Assonance's support my theme because the words enough and tough are both emphasized assonance's that show how he was doubted. The rhymes allow you to see that he was treated badly again and again because they are repeated and since they rhyme they stick out and allow you to notice them and they show you have he was no longer innocent after what he had
