Madison’s version of the speech and press clauses, introduced in the House of Representatives on June 8, 1789, provided: “The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.” The special committee rewrote the language to some extent, adding other provisions from Madison’s draft, to make it read: “ The freedom of speech and of the press, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common good, and to apply to the government for redress of grievances, shall not be infringed.” In this form it went to the Senate, which rewrote it to read: “That Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and consult for their common good, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Subsequently, the religion clauses and these clauses were combined by the Senate. The final language was agreed upon in conference.
The 1920s through the 1940s was a time of great change in the United States, as war mobilization had sparked the economy and brought it back from the Great Depression.
Answer:
The figurative language used in this sentence is: oxymoron.
Explanation:
By definition, a crowd is the gathering of a large number of people. However, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker says there was a "small crowd". The two words have, therefore, opposite meanings - a "small large number of people," so to speak.
This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.

Answer:
Charlie and Algernon are very different, yet peculiarly similar.
Charlie, of course, is a human and has a much bigger emotional variation than Algernon. Charlie has desires for love, sex, connection and relationships. Algernon is a mouse, so he has the desire for food. We don't see him wanting anything that Charlie wants throughout the novel. We can see, at the beginning of the novel, that Charlie and Algernon are similar in their simple mindedness. They are both dull, even at Algernon's farthest mental capacity, because they are naive. Once again, Algernon is a mouse, so he cannot have the emotional capacity of a human. Charlie in the beginning, because he is special ed, he has about the same mental and emotional capacity as Algernon.
I hope this helps!
