God's Wheel by Shel Silverstein

GOD says to me with a kind
of smile, "Hey how would you like
to be God awhile And steer the world?"
"Okay," says I, "I'll give it a try.

Where do I set?
How much do I get?
What time is lunch?
When can I quit?"

"Gimme back that wheel," says GOD.
"I don't think you're quite ready YET."

What would be 3 examples of figurative language/poetic devices in this poem?

Answers

Answer 1
ok do this forget that teacher no disrespect...
1. so, the wheel is a symbol for power and control over the world. the human tries to handle it, but is lost in confusion. Only god can handle it.
2. the questions he asks could be interpreted as rhetorical questions. They create the dramatic effect of a small human being in awe at the difficulty of running the world.
3. There is also a paradox, where god says "Hey, how would you like to be god awhile..." simply because a human can never be a god. its simple but true.

good looks my friend.

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,  

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,  

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,  

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,  

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,  

The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,  

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

"I Hear America Singing" is a poem in which author Walt Whitman celebrates the working class of the United States. It is a poem of patriotism and healthy pride. The speaker mentions different people whose jobs are crucial to make America the great country that it is.

Hey bestie, and I think the answer might be B. or D.

Explanation:

Lmk if I'm wrong, but B. had a small chance, being that it isn't really exciting, but it is lively when you say it aloud. D. also has a chance because its saying the sentence in a lively voice, but it is also telling the reader that they were counted by a member of the committee. It might not sound exciting, but unlike the other option, in which A. is NOT the answer, it tells exactly what's going on, and where you most likely are, while the others do tell you where you are, but at the same time, tell you EXACTLY what's going on, in which isn't as exciting in my opinion.
