Answer:

Alliteration

Explanation:

The repetition of initial sounds in the phrase "wild and whirling words" is an example of alliteration. Alliteration is employed by authors in order to provide a melodic rhythm to a text. Alliteration happens when several words with the same consonant sounds appear close together. The device is common in both prose and poetry, and it is one of the most common literary devices in the English language.

Rewrite this paragraph by adding each of the following three transitional elements to the beginning of the appropriate sentence:
marusya05 [52]

History is by far my favorite subject in school. It is challenging learning new information. So, the challenge is well worth it for several reasons. First, it's great to learn about inspirational figures from the past. Today we learned about Abraham Lincoln, who guided America through the Civil War. Second, I get to see how the past has influenced our lives today. Therefore history helps us all learn to not make the same mistakes that were made in the past. Lastly history helps us grow and learn. There are just three of the reasons I can't wait for for history class.

In about 250 words, describe how the themes in "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" interact and build on each other.
vesna_86 [32]

There are two main themes that dominate the story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" by Richard Wright. These two themes interact and build on each other throughout the story.

The first theme is that of power. This is clear throughout the story in all the decisions Dave makes. In the story, Dave wants to own a gun. However, the gun is seen as a way to become powerful and masculine, something he has been denied. He cannot keep the money he earns, he has to obey his parents, he is not respected among his peers. This leads him to want to accomplish power in any way he can find. Moreover, he is denied this autonomy because of racial reasons.

On the other hand, the story also has a component of a coming-of-age story. Dave wants to achieve autonomy, and he wants to be able to act freely. He also wants to be more independent and more of an adult, which in turn signifies more power. This is why he gets the gun. And in this way, both themes are related and build on each other. However, Dave discovers that having more power does not equal being more of an adult.
