Yes. Li-Young Lee’s poems are full of imagery. He uses every single word to help get a clear picture of exactly what’s going on. For example, to describe his father’s voice he says, “but hear his voice still, a well of dark water, a prayer”. He describes his father’s hands, “And I recall his hands, two measures of tenderness he laid against my face…”.
Here, the enjambment draws attention to the words and helps reinforce the irony. This view point is in contrast to that of “Give”.

“Dialogue at Three in the Morning” belongs to belles-lettres functional style, the main aim of which is to give the readers aesthetic pleasure, to make them think and to entertain them.

Another use of a metaphor occurs when Hamlet compares the soldiers marching to battle, and ultimately their deaths, to people going to bed, “Go to their graves like beds” (IV.iv.61).
Throughout is powerful speech he uses emotional appeals and rhetorical questions to get his ideas across. Henry uses emotional appeal by expressing how much the colonists have been hurt and wronged by the British government. Simply by expressing how much Britain has placed soldiers and naval fleets around the colonies makes there a perception that Britain does not trust the colonies and must guard them like a prison not giving them any rights. Also, by asking rhetorical questions about simple human rights and freedom he puts the listeners into a mindset that they have been wronged. He does not always say exactly what Britain has done but rather mentions their government and then asks a rhetorical question about the man’s freedom.
