Answer:

Personification is when you give an animal or object qualities or abilities that only a human can have. This creative literary tool adds interest and fun to poems or stories. Personification is what writers use to bring non-human things to life. It helps us better understand the writer's message.The following is an example of personification used in The One and Only Ivan by Katharine Applegate. The main character Ivan is a gorilla that is given human qualities. The following lines make it seem like he thinks and expresses himself like a human.The last example is from The Day The Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt. In this book, the crayons feel emotions and act like humans. The crayons express that they had enough of drawing and quit. I have to color all the Santas at Christmas and all the hearts on Valentine's Day. I need a rest. Personification is commonly used in advertising.

It would be personification because devoured is a human like action I guess, I can’t really explain it very well

What is reasoning? someone help me out
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.

It's often the influence of people's actions. Reasoning can be in your own thoughts, though reasoning may be more obvious. Example of Reasoning:

1- There is a door that leads into a room with fire, and there is a door that leads to the safe outdoors. They chose to go outdoors. Reasoning: The door outside is the safest, easiest option.

2- You have to complete cooking a dinner in 5 hours. You can begin making every course of the meal at once, or you can finish each one at a time. You choose to go step by step. Reasoning: You know doing it all at once will be too stressful, and it would be more efficient to finish each one at a set pace.

Hope this helps :)

oksian1 [2.3K]
The writer's comments are neither unchanging and bucolic. The word bucolic relates to the pleasant and unchanging nature of country life. I believe that this scene stay in one moment of time and not change. The writer's description of the rural scene with its fishermen, glossy black oxen and school children on bicycles represents forward motion. It can be inferred that the fishermen are busy fishing; the oxen are walking towards their destination, and the children are cycling to school.  Everyone is doing something. 
<span>Another reason why this statement can be considered incorrect is that rural life isn't always pleasant. Extreme weather conditions can cause hardship and poverty for the people living in the countryside. </span>
