. Read the passage from “The Devil and Tom Walker.” What does this passage tell you about the personal viewpoint of the author a

nd the cultural norms of this period?
From “The Devil and Tom Walker” Tom looked in the direction that the stranger pointed, and beheld one of the great trees, fair and flourishing without, but rotten at the core, and saw that it had been nearly hewn through, so that the first high wind was likely to blow it down. On the bark of the tree was scored the name of Deacon Peabody, an eminent man, who had waxed wealthy by driving shrewd bargains with the Indians.

The author frowns on the hypocrisy of religious people who take advantage of others.

There was a flourishing business during this period as successful people traded with the Indians.

People of that region respected the forests and were opposed to the careless cutting of trees.

The repetition of consonant sounds, especially at the end of words or syllables, without the correspondence of vowel sounds nece
uysha [10]

Answer:

Consonance.

Explanation:

<em>'Consonance' </em><em>is demonstrated as the literary device that involves a succession of similar consonant sounds usually at the end of syllables or words without resembling the vowel sounds in a single line(sentence) or phrase.</em> The chief aim of employing such a device is to create a rhythmic and melodious effect that would captivate the readers' attention and appeal to them. In 'abstruser musings', there is a quick succession of consonant sound 's' while in the phrase 'That was a stroke of luck', the use of consonant sound 'k' repetitively creates the rhyming effect. Thus, <u>'consonance'</u> is the answer.
