A.I stay up all night studying the words for the spelling bee. And you can see me any time of day practicing running. I never walk if I can trot, and shame on Raymond if he can’t keep up.B.But as they get to me, they slow down. I’m ready to fight, ‘cause like I said I don’t feature a whole lot of chit-chat, I much prefer to just knock you down right from the jump.C.I dig my sneaker into the grass and stare at Gretchen who’s staring back, we both wondering just who did win.<span>D.With a little more study I can beat Cynthia and her phony self at the spelling bee. And if I bugged my mother, I could get piano lessons and become a star.</span>
The rhetorical devices that Thoreau used in Resistance to the civil government are:
Metaphor: is used to help the reader to understand the argument he is trying to say. Government as a machine (mechanical, unnatural, dehumanized).
Anaphora: Thoreau uses repetition and parallel structures. For example, repetition of "Why" or "does not".
Allusion: Christ, Copernicus, Luther, Washington and Franklin rebels.

forgive me if it is wrong
