y now, you've probably heard that taking illicit drugs might have the unfortunate effect of frying your brain -- especially if you're familiar with the now-cliche 1980s anti-drug ad that elegantly compares drug use to egg frying with the pithy message:
"This is your brain (an egg). This is drugs (a hot frying pan). This is your brain on drugs (one fried egg). Any questions?"
Answer:
Imagery
Explanation:
Imagery is a literay device used by author to appeal to the sense of sight of the readers. Using this device, the author is able to create a vivid picture through word choice enabling the readers to see what the author is seeing or wants his/her readers to see.
In the given excerpt, the literary device used by James Joyce is imagery. In his short story entitled 'Araby', Joyce has created a vivid picture through his words, enabling readers to imagine the created scene.
Examples of imagery can be found in phrase such as <em>'We walked through the flaring streets...', 'jostled by loud men and bargaining women...; 'shrill litanies of shop-boys ...',</em> etc.
