The rhetorical device that was used by Justice Harlan in the sentence provided is;

  • B. Alliteration

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same or similar sounding letters in a group of closely linked words. The initial consonant sounds are stressed in the usage of this device.

In the excerpt provided, we find here, the repetition of the consonant sound, 's'. This can be found in words such as; knows, statute, question, purpose, so, persons, etc.

The repetition of the 's' sound adds rhythm and emphasis to the speech.

Mr. Cooger also tries to get Jim to ride on the merry-go-round, and if not for Will he would have succeeded. Although he is dangerous and cunning, Mr. Cooger is a threatening possibility for most of the book since he is too old to do anything after Will messes up his carousel ride.
