Answer :

The figurative language of simile and sensory imagery have been used in the poem "Simile" by N. Scott Momaday.

Simile is a figure of speech that involves comparison in order to make the description more vivid. A simile has been used in the line "now we are as the deer..". The poet compares human beings to deer who walk in a single line with heads high and eyes watchful.

Sensory imagery has been used in the line "in whose limbs there is latent flight". This means that the speaker and his audience is ready to flee at the smallest possible sign of imminent danger or threat.

Simile and Imagery.

Explanation:

Simile is the comparison of one thing with another of a different kinds, while imagery is the visual representation of the scene or the idea.

N. Scott Momaday's poem "Simile", like the poem's title, contains a lot of figurative language and imagery. The poem consists of eight lines full of imagery, be it visual, sensory or even kinetic imagery. There is also simile in the second line "that now we are as the deer". Here, the poet is comparing humans with deer, walking in a single file/ line with watchful eyes.

The rest of the lines are either sensory imagery, or visual imagery. The lines show how they appear, like deer who are ready for any imminent need to run away in case of any sudden danger.
