Answer:
minimal punctuation
Explanation:
In the excerpt we can see one of the stylistic characteristics of the writings of Jack Kerouac: the minimal use of punctuation.
In fact, the excerpt uses punctuation so sparingly, that it could be difficult to read aloud. The whole excerpt only has one comma.
The answer is A: applying broad knowledge to specific examples.
Deductive reasoning is a logical process by which one can reach a conclusion of a specific nature by means of premises of a broader nature, or to be more precise, premises that are theoretically general but allowing for its application, following logical rules or argumentation or thought, to a specific case, instance or sample.
Answer: One good example from this paragraph is in the second sentence: "It's [the house] small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath." Here the windows are personified (given human qualities). after all, windows don't really need to breathe.
Answer:
These are all examples of imagery.
Explanation:
Alliteration is making a phrase using many words with the same beginning sound, like "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
Simile uses "Like" or "As" to describe something, for example: "The strong winds roared like a lion."
Flashback shows events that happened in the past.
Imagery gives the reader physical descriptions of something using figurative language. "Fragrance of cinnamon" gives a smell description, "The fresh feel of dew" is touch, "The sugared taste of coffee" is taste, and "The hard clasp of lightning" is sound.
