Write a figure of speech?

Question

choose a line from the poem and write its figure of speech

and how it adds to the meaning of the poem

Locked arm in arm they cross the way

The black boy and the white,

The golden splendor of the day

The sable pride of night.

From lowered blinds the dark folk stare

And here the fair folk talk,

Indignant that these two should dare

In unison to walk.

Oblivious to look and word

They pass, and see no wonder

That lightning brilliant as a sword

Should blaze the path of thunder.

Answer 1

do your homework by yourself.

Answer 2

Good luck with your homework!

Answer 3

That lightning brilliant as a sword

Go to a search engine and type in Figures of speech that use like or as. Then ask yourself what does this comparison say about lightning? How is lightning as brilliant as a sword.

That is how to answer the prompt you are working on.
