What rhetorical device is used in this excerpt from Mark Twain's "The Danger of Lying in Bed"? The man in the ticket-office said

: "Have an accident insurance ticket, also?" "No," I said, after studying the matter over a little. "No, I believe not; I am going to be traveling by rail all day today. However, tomorrow I don't travel. Give me one for tomorrow." The man looked puzzled. He said: "But it is for accident insurance, and if you are going to travel by rail—" "If I am going to travel by rail I sha'n't need it. Lying at home in bed is the thing I am afraid of." I had been looking into this matter. Last year I traveled twenty thousand miles, almost entirely by rail; the year before, I traveled over twenty-five thousand miles, half by sea and half by rail; and the year before that I traveled in the neighborhood of ten thousand miles, exclusively by rail. I suppose if I put in all the little odd journeys here and there, I may say I have traveled sixty thousand miles during the three years I have mentioned. AND NEVER AN ACCIDENT. allusion rhetorical question anecdote logic NextReset

Write a piece about a family member or a home (or both). Use allusions to myth or some other well-known story.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

For the enterprise narrative, I need to concentrate on the topic of how mixed state families, close relatives, and friends' families that I remember, have been impacted by immigration issues. One of my co-worker's (someone) brother got impacted by that and was excited directly to Tijuana (TJ). It was an awkward and tragic tale, as her friend was walking out of the house to get to work when that immigration was looking for him outside.

hope this helped :)
