Answer:

Imagery- creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind.

Symbolism- represents an abstract idea with a concrete object.

Alliteration- calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words.

Oxymoron- makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words.

Explanation:

There are numerous literary devices that writers use in their works. Such literary devices or techniques allows them to perfectly present their ideas and proposed effects to the readers.

Imagery is the use of descriptive words to help readers paint a picture in their heads about what is talked about. This also allows the presentation of ideas in such a way that the readers can identify and even imagine the scenes of the story, giving it a perfect way of expression to the writer's words.

eg, He wore a white crisp shirt and bright red trousers.

Symbolism is the use of certain symbols to signify or represent ideas, themes, and purposes. It uses certain objects or even words to represent or stand for an abstract idea that the writer wants to convey rather than directly state it. It makes reading more interesting and fun.

eg, A dove is a symbol of peace.

Alliteration is the use of the same letters of a given word in quick succession or close quarters. This creates a form of rhythm to the words used, making certain words or phrases stand out and also provide a bit of musicality to the words/ work.

eg, The <u>baby blue basket and bib</u> make for a great combination of colors for the whole dreary scene.

An oxymoron is when two contrasting words are placed together in a given sentence. This rhetorical device is self-contradictory but provides a great impact or effect in the sentence.

eg, When we went to meet him, we never expect him to be <u>seriously funny</u>.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

3: Scout would chew gum she found in a tree because it tasted good & it was Wrigley's double mint.

4: Jem got mad at Scout for chewing gum because it was found at the Radley place.

5: I would chew gum from the tree because I believe that the Radleys aren't as horriffic as everyone says they are.

6: I think that one of the Radleys put the gum there for kids in general, not just for Scout, whether it was mal intended or not.

7: It's not right for the kids to act out the Radleys because they have no idea what actually happened, just gossip from neighbors. It is rude to make fun of people's lives.

8.) Scout defines the term as a "strict commitment to the Baptist religion without allowing for any bending of those views in any situation," or "all enjoyment is bad."

9.) Miss Maudie is the Finches' neighbor and is one of their (the children's) good friends

10.) Jem lost his pants because the children snuck into the Radley's back yard. They got scared because they saw a shadow, and frantically trying to get out, thinking it was Boo Radley's shadow, Jem's pants got stuck and he lost them in the process.

11.) The children would snoop around the Radley's place because they wanted to catch a glimpse of Boo Radley's face.

12.)  One of the Radleys fired a gun at the children because he was aware that someone was in his back yard and it was either a child, an animal, or a negro.

13.) Jems pants showed up folded neatly and stitched up at the top of the fence

14.) The other children recieve two figures carved in soap, followed by chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch.

15.) They know the gifts are for them because the two carved figures are them.

16.) Mr. Radley plugged the knothole in the tree because the tree is dying.
