English

Ann [662]3 years ago

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech used in literary texts that consists of giving animated characteristics to objects and aims to bring greater richness of meaning to the text and greater understanding and interest for the reader. This resource used in the poem brings more animism to the text, since the writer is able to express herself in a more sentimental way using the language resource.

It is possible to notice the personification in the excerpts:

"It's as if the rain

had pierced my temples".

and

"a gleaming pebble

from constant rubbing

becomes a comet".

what was the intended purpose of revolutionary pamphlets and articles, such as Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and “The Crisis, No.
Reil [10]
The intended purpose of pamphlets like Common Sense and The Crisis #1 were to build public opinion for something that was very controversial: American Independence from the British Crown. It is important to remember that many people living in the American colonies considered themselves to be, first and foremost, British.
It was considered treasonous by many in the Colonies to declare the need for independence. There needed to be a publicity campaign to build American support for revolution, and these pamphlets helped to create that debate and convince people of something that was once considered unheard of.
