I want to say its Imagery or Diction

anonymous · Answer

It's Diction

redohawk · Answer

it could be imagery because he is describing the shoe box, but he is not being very specific about it ;(

redohawk · Answer

I'll go with B just like i said, but it sucks how it doesn't even tell you what you got right and what you got wrong.

Yea he is describing it but he is not specific about the the box if  he said the big brown shoe box lid it would be imagery the only answer that would make sense and match the poems lines would be Diction  I hope I helped : )
