The author uses a simile to compare the squalor of a "barnyard" to being worse that the sound of suffering.  
2.) The personification of " my hours are married to a shadow" exemplifies the realization that his presence is no longer there, yet his "shadow" or remembrance still remains.
3.) Imagery is used to show that she wished the display of her fathers "bald, white tumuli" shown through his eyes would have disappeared.]]> 2018-12-17 14:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315170081 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171035 Extended metaphor-- Plath uses extended metaphor to compare her father to "The Colossus", a massive statue. She uses this metaphor to describe her father as all-consuming, a gigantic entity in any room, taking up every bit of space and sucking energy from his daughter. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171035 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171199 The quote, "You are a pithy and historical as the Roman Forum" by Sylvia Plath resembles the pity readers felt for Jane's long and grueling pain regarding the wall paper in "The Yellow Wall-Paper". The quote "It would take more than a lightening-stroke to create such a ruin" from "The Colossus" mirrors how the simply discolored wallpaper could not possibly cause a person so much anxiety, yet Jane was very paranoid because of it in the "The Yellow Wall-Paper".]]> 2018-12-17 14:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171199 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171319 "Mule-bray, pig-grunt and bawdy cackles proceed from your great lips" gives a vivid depiction of what  somebody is saying. 
Later on, the narrator states she is "scaling little ladders with glue pots and pails of Lysol," clearly showing the reader what she is trying to do. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315171319 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315172656 In "The Colossus", Plath utilizes extended comparison and rich imagery to demonstrate the speakers dark, steadfast mourning of her late father and how this mourning consumes her own life. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315172656 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315176813 Sylvia Plath's "The Colossus" implicitly illustrates her deceased father's huge impact using an extended metaphor comparing him to a godlike figure, along with rich imagery, and simile. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315176813 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315180589 In the poem "The Colossus", author's "hours are married to shadow" that the theme of suffering and inner struggle being displayed, also in "The Yellow Wall Paper" that the women suffered from depression and big influences by males surrounding her. Both largely influenced by others, they are unable to obtain the opportunity to really fulfill and achieve their self value. 
In the quote "the bald, white tumuli of your eyes," the narrator helps make it clear to the reader that her father is dead, as his eyes are seemingly blank and lifeless. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315180589 https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315180731 Simile-- "I crawl like an ant in mourning" determines that Plath feels small, barely seen compared to the massive presence of her father. 
"You are pithy and historical as the Roman Forum" compares her father to the strength and enforcement of a Roman soldier. ]]> 2018-12-17 14:49:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ksagendorf/mt9r4yqe9tf0/wish/315180731
