      Following literary/poetic devices or figures of speech are used in the poem How to Tell Wild Animals by Carolyn Wells:

      1. Personification: It is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human (animal, plant or non-living thing). In the poem, the poet uses personification. e.g. she describes the lion, the leopard and the bear by the pronoun he which is used for humans. In addition, a bear does not hug its prey but crushes to death. This is again an example of personification.
      2. Alliteration: It is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the poem the poet uses alliteration. e.g. “you as you’re dying”, “whose hide”, “when you’re walking”, “round your yard” etc.
      3. Enjambment: it is the continuation of a sentence without a pause beyond the end of a line, couplet, or stanza. In the poem, poet uses enjambment. e.g. “if ever you should go by chance to jungles in the East”.
