Answer: To highlight that Mooreland is a small and quiet town

Explanation:

In the book/memoir by Haven Kimmel known as <em>A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana</em>, Haven, who was nicknamed Zippy by her father, describes, as the title suggests, growing up in Mooreland.

The town had a population of 300 and had only one main street on which there was a four-way stop sign, the only one in the town. This detail was put there to highlight how small and quiet the town was because bigger towns usually have multiple stop signs in order to control a heavier flow of traffic.

If Mooreland had only one of those, it most probably meant that they did not need more because their town was too small too need more.

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>

The feeling of love that the author expresses in the poem is best contrasted by which line?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The poem “I Am Offering this Poem” by Jimmy Santiago Baca reflects the poet’s love for his beloved for whom he has dedicated the poem.

The line “no longer cares if you live or die” best contrasts with the poet’s feeling of love. He wants his love to be a shelter and covering upon her beloved even if anyone isn’t concerned about her. He wrote the poem and dedicated to his beloved so that she would never feel an emptiness in her life even in his absence.
