Rebellions Are Built on Hope

 Read the poem below by Emily Dickinson - 

"Hope" is the thing with feathers --
That perches in the soul --
And sings the tune without the words --
And never stops -- at all --


What is the literary term that drives the meaning of this poem?
  

a. metaphor
b. simile
c. repetition
d. allusion









Scroll down for the answer.






_____________________________
a. is correct.  We do not have what the complete comparison is, but we should be able to figure out that Hope is being compared to a bird.
