The literary device that is used here is:

  • Parallelism
<h3 /><h3>What is Parallelism?</h3>

Parallelism is the literary device whereby the writer repeats succeeding words for the purpose of emphasis. Parallelism is important because it creates harmony in the statements being made. It also helps the reader to see the similarity between the words.

When parallelism is used in a sentence, it often seems like a rhythm is created in the flow of words. For instance, note the use of parallelism in this statement: The people were denied their voice, their strength, their right to live.

The repetition of the word, 'their' shows that something which belonged to the people had been denied to them. So, the use of "their" demonstrates parallelism.

In the sentence above, we can see a good example of parallelism because of the repetition of the word, 'his.' The intent is to stress that the wife, child, household goods, and dogs belonged to the man.

Explain why passive rather than active verb forms are used in certain types of text
Verdich [7]
ANSWER: Passive verb forms are used to shift the focus off the agent and onto the subject. 

There are two nouns in a basic sentence; a subject and an agent. The agent acts on the subject. Here, the subject is bolded and the agent is italicized. 
I ate <em>cereal. 

^ </em>That is an active sentence, because it focuses on the 'I'. Below are examples of passive sentences. 
<em>
</em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten by me. 
<em></em><em>Cereal </em>was eaten. 

^As you can see, sometimes passive sentences don't even contain a subject. This is particularly useful when you want to divert attention from the agent, such as when your sibling asks where the last bit of cereal went (Doesn't <em></em>'The cereal was eaten' sound less guilty than 'I ate the cereal'?)

Hope this helped!
