Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass - I was probably between seven or eight years old when I left
Colonel Lloyd's plantation. I left it with joy. I shall never
forget the ecstasy with which I received the intelligence
that my old master (Anthony) had determined to let me go
to Baltimore, to live with Mr. Hugh Auld, brother to my old
master's son-in-law, Captain Thomas Auld. I received this
information about three days before my departure. They
were three of the happiest days I ever enjoyed. I spent the
most part of all these three days in the creek, washing off
the plantation scruff, and preparing myself for my
departure.

Lloyd's plantation

B. He uses formal word choice, like 'departure,' to establish his
credibility

C. He incorporates the names of influential people who can verify his
story

D. He avoids sentimentality by choosing not to linger on his feelings
about leaving the plantation

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
