What type of literary device is " As the cave's roof collapsed, he was Jonah, swallowed up, and only his frantic scrabbling behind a wall of rock indicated that there was anyone still alive" explain why it is that type of literary device

need this ASAP please

Explanation:

This is an allusion.

It makes reference to a Biblical character that was swallowed  by a large fish (some people say it was a whale. It wasn't). You can read the Old Testament version by reading Jonah. It isn't very long and should take you only about 1/2 hour.

It is a very apt allusion, because Jonah had to pray to the Lord begging for forgiveness before he was released from the stomach of the creature. I doubt any of the seamen knew what happened to him until he was released at the behest of the Lord.

This quotation conveys the same idea. No one knew there was life behind the  wall until they heard the frantic noise.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
