This passage uses personification. Words cannot actually be stiff or heavy, and they do not need to be pushed out of one's mouth, but these adjectives and actions give the reader a vivid picture of Molly trying to say this words, and struggling greatly to do so.

What types of material might a college artist cleave together
tatiyna

two very different meanings. It can describe cutting or splitting something apart with a sharp instrument, or — oddly enough — it can describe sticking to something like glue.

Cleave can refer to being in close contact, to staying really, really close to someone or something: "If you are walking in the pitch-black woods without a flashlight, you want to cleave to the person in front of you."

This is an excerpt from Jackie Robinson's letter to President Eisenhower. What literary techniques does Robinson employ to creat
barxatty [35]
If this is the excerpt:

My dear Mr. President:

I was sitting in the audience at the Summit Meeting of Negro Leaders yesterday when you said we must have patience. On hearing you say this, I felt like standing up and saying, "Oh no! Not again."

I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people. When you said we must have self-respect, I wondered how we could have self-respect and remain patient considering the treatment accorded us through the years.
 
17 million Negroes cannot do as you suggest and wait for the hearts of men to change. We want to enjoy now the rights that we feel we are entitled to as Americans. This we cannot do unless we pursue aggressively goals which all other Americans achieved over 150 years ago. <span>
The literary techniques I recognize are the following:
1) amplification - adding more words to a simple sentence to make it more valuable and understandable.
2) hyperbole - exaggeration
3) dramatic visualization
4) Imagery 
5) Pathos - use for emotional appeal.</span>
