Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

The authors employ a number of literary devices or figures of speech to present the information using a figurative language that assists in adding details and depth to the writing and enhance its significance.

The simile is demonstrated as the figure of speech that aims to compare two distinct objects using 'as' and 'like' in order to elaborate on the meaning of the unfamiliar word through this comparison.

As per the question, the given excerpt from the popular romanticist Lord Byron's 'Child Harold, canto III' employs a 'simile' which is reflected by the comparison of the speaker himself 'I' with a 'weed' using 'as'. In these lines, the speaker aims to elaborate his present state by comparing himself to a 'weed which has "flung from the rock and on ocean's foam to sail"'.

How does the shift in structure from an autobiographical tale to a “bedtime story” affect the reader?
Bezzdna [24]
The shift in structure from an autobiographical tale to a "bedtime story" or a "fairy tale" increases the personal interest of the reader into the story itself.
The reader starts meeting a family that could be his/hers. The family starts facing some problems or a horrific nightmare. The fairy tale, then, allows the reader to go beyond the borders of the story itself and start picturing himself/herself in the action.
The reader then starts to this how he/she might act? How can the family be protected?....and so on.
