*picture* provide a summary of this excerpt. Based on this passage, how does Thoreau feel about the people who serve the state?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The Thoreau feel that the people who serve the state have the same worth as dogs or horses and that they should receive no more respect then a man of straw or a lump of dirt, so these people feel that working for the state rarely make any moral distinctions,and it also says in the paragraph that they are likely to serve the devil. So by this article we can clearly see that they are apposed to any form of serving the state.

The storm crept in upon us like a thief in the night, its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Alliteration: bloated clouds bulging and billowing

Personification: The storm crept in upon us; the feeble sun limped away and died; the howling of the wind

Imagery: its bloated clouds bulging and billowing to create a fortress that walled off the sky.Behind these towering, stratospheric ramparts; the official soundtrack of the apocalypse

Explanation:

Alliteration is a device in which consonant sounds are repeated at the beginning of words that are close in proximity in the structure. In the passage we are analyzing here, the /b/ sound is repeated in "bloated clouds bulging and billowing."

Personification is a literary device in which human qualities are attributed to inanimate objects. In the passage we are analyzing here, the author says the clouds crept upon them, the sun limped and died, and the wind howled. Those actions can only be performed by humans or animals, but not by inanimate objects. The purpose is to emphasize feelings and ideas.

Imagery consists of appealing to the five senses when writing, with the purpose of describing something vividly. To be fair, the whole passage consists of imagery. The description of the clouds, the sun, and the wind appeals to sight and hearing.
