In this adapted 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 loud men and bargaining women, amid the shrill litanies of shop-boys who stood on guard by the barrels of food, 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.

Examine the following paragraph for errors;
DerKrebs [107]
Rita’s most favourite place in the world is the beach, a magical place full of life. Everything is in motion there, from the ferris wheel and the unceasingly pounding waves to the shores’ sand shifting back and fourth due to the tides. Beaches present a myriad of activities such as: snorkelling, surging and crabbing. Each day at the Beach with her friends and family is a miracle.
———-

Ok! So Beach is a noun, meaning it needs to be capitalized. (person place or thing. In this case a place) therefore a noun.

Good luck!
