metaphor

An oxymoron is a phrase of opposites - there are no opposites in the lines. Flashback is an interruption in narration to tell something that had happened in the past. It's often used for clarification or character development. This is not a flashback. Personification is giving nonhuman things humanlike traits. The lines are actually talking about humans, not animals. This is why metaphor is correct. The priest doesn't actually have a flock of sheep. The flock that is mentioned are his parishioners (people who attend religious services). He says that they were either in bed or had died.

HELP ME I NEED THIS FOR MY GRADE PLEASE!!!!

Answer:

The light of hissing gas lamps lit up the old bookshop. Down below street level, Jeremiah Franklin looked up at the translucent street slab, sensing, more than hearing, raindrops spattering the paving stones, their noise barely perceptible through the door and windows above. It was four o’clock on a deadly dull Wednesday afternoon in December and Jeramiah felt inclined to close early, though the voice of his father, Harrold, rang in his ears, “Stay open to the advertised hour, lad, and people will trust your word … and your prices!” The bell rang and, before Jeremiah could ascend to the ground floor, a woman with a wet umbrella and an equally wet child, a young boy of about six, began to descend the stairs to the basement and Jeremiah’s desk. “Good afternoon, do you have such a thing as an atlas of Mexico and the South Americas?” she enquired.
