In this excerpt from James Joyce's short story "Araby" what literary device does the author use to describe the scene? We walked
through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men and bargaining women, amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of pigs' cheeks, the nasal chanting of street-singers, who sang a come-all-you about O'Donovan Rossa, or a ballad about the troubles in our native land. A. Personification B.Simile C. Metaphor D. Imagery
Imagery is a literary device that uses a vivid and descriptive language that appeals to any of our senses, be it sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch. This excerpt uses this device as its language is descriptive enough to evoke pictures or ideas in our minds that appeal to our senses of sight (As in the line "We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men") and hearing (As in "amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys" and "the nasal chanting of street-singers").
i believe that the source that would best help students build background knowledge about bullying to better understand the news articles about bullying is a play about a girl who is creully teased. I believe this because if srudents wacthed it then they would realize that bullying or teasing someone is mean and rude and they wouldnt like it if they got bullied or teased
"All of a sudden..." is a transition that shows suspense. It says something happened, but it didn't happen with any warning and it doesn't tell the reader up front what went on or if it was good or bad.
