#15 \i dream a world\ langston hughes i dream a world where man no other man will scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn i dream a world where all will know sweet freedoms way, where greed no longer saps the soul nor avarice blights our day. a world i dream where black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth and every man is free, where wretchedness will hang its head and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all mankind- of such i dream, my world! all of the following poetic devices are used except: a. assonance (go to #2) b. alliteration (go to #14) c. personification (go to #7) d. internal rhyme (go to #4)

Explanation:

1. Assonance: Repeats vowel sounds (e.g., "dream" and "where" in "I dream a world where...", "bless" and "earth" in "Where love will bless the earth").
2. Alliteration: Repeats initial consonant sounds (e.g., "peace its paths" – "p" sound, "greed no longer" – "g" and "n" sounds).
3. Personification: Gives human traits to non - human things. In the poem, "peace its paths adorn" (peace is personified as adorning paths) and "wretchedness will hang its head" (wretchedness is personified as hanging its head) are examples.
4. Internal Rhyme: Rhymes within a line. The poem does not have clear internal rhymes (e.g., rhyming words within a single line). So internal rhyme is the poetic device not used.

d. Internal rhyme (Go to #4)
