Question

i too am not a bit tamed, i too am untranslatable, i sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.\ after you read the poem together, noah asks, \can you explain this?\ from your studies, you know that whitman is employing a literary device, which attributes human characteristics to nonhuman things, such as animals, plants, or weather. which literary device do you explain to noah is being used in whitman’s poem? alliteration metaphor personification allegory

Explanation:

The question defines the literary device as attributing human characteristics to nonhuman things. Personification matches this definition exactly, while alliteration (repetition of initial consonant sounds), metaphor (comparison without "like" or "as"), and allegory (story with symbolic meaning) do not fit the given description.

Answer:

Personification
