Answer from: drainy0uandthefish

We can relate each line to the poetical resource it represents as follows:

Alliteration: O suns - O grass of graves - O perpetual transfers and promotions Assonance: No doubt I have died myself ten thousand times before Rhyme: Hous-es and rooms are full of per-fumes Parallelism: I ascend from the moon, I ascend from the night

We can arrive at this answer because:

Alliteration corresponds to the repetition of syllabic sounds in the same line. We can see this in "grass of bass."Assonance refers to the repetition of vowel sounds and the same sentence. We can see an example of this in "died," "myself" and "times."Rhyme can be seen when the ends of words or lines have the same sound. This can be seen in "Hous-es" and "per-fumes."Parallelism can be in clauses that are presented with the same grammatical construction, in addition to being presented in sequences.

With that, we can affirm that Walt Whitman made strong use of literary devices in his poetry.

Explanation:

Whitman employs a number of literary devices in 'Song of Myself' to beautifully portray his idea of 'celebrating the democracy and individualism', and 'unity of humankind.'

As per the question, the given poetic devices have been correctly matched with the excerpt from poem as mentioned above.

Alliteration is the poetic device that involves the repetition of consonant sounds('g' and 'p' in the given line) at the beginning of two or more words('grass and graves', 'perpetual and promotions') immediately succeeding each other or at short intervals.

Assonance is a literary device that includes 'repetition of similar or identical vowel sounds' but starting with distinct consonant sounds. It assists in developing a rhythm and flowy effect in the poem. The excerpt 'no...before' involves repetition of the same vowel sound 'o' in 'No', 'doubt', 'thousand', 'before.'

Rhyme refers to the repetition of alike sounds customarily at the end of a line in a poem. The words 'room' and 'fume' give a similar rhyming sound.

Parallelism involves repetition of alike words or phrases('I ascend' in the given line) in order to create a rhythm, attract the readers' attention, and make it memorable for them.
