The literary device used here is anachronism.

Explanation:

The person here is said to have been 'wobbled' on to the floor.

This is not an action that a human is often portrayed as doing anywhere so it does not really fit human description but shows a form of action that happens to things.

This suggest the situation and how bad the fall actually is.

It also suggests that the situation and the tone of the passage is rather comedic and used in a sense that is strategically that way.

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the second excerpt - ''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men", the word 'transpire' means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, "Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", the contextual meaning of 'mottling' is marking with spots or blotches.

Answer:

Puritans and the writers of the Revolutionary period have a

common perception on what they wanted and were trying to

establish from their governments. These values would have to

be freedom to practice their religion, independence, and

government. The Puritans were seeking a free land where they

could practice their religion without ending in punishment,

thus they founded the Plymouth colony where they could have

independence from their government and live their way of life

through what they believed. Likewise, the Revolutionary

period wanted to have a government that allowed them to

practice religion but now have it be the way they lived their

lives.
