adapted from The Locket
by Kate Chopin
One night in autumn a few men were gathered about a fire on a
hill. They belonged to a small detachment of Confederate forces.
Their gray uniforms were worn beyond the point of shabbiness.
One of the men was heating something in a tin cup over the
embers. Two were lying at full length a little distance away, while a
fourth was trying to decipher a letter and had drawn close to the
light. He had unfastened his collar and a good bit of his flannel shirt
front.
"What's that you got around your neck, Ned?" asked one of the
men
Ned-or Edmond-mechanically fastened another button of his
shirt and did not reply. He went on reading his letter.
"Is it your sweetheart's picture?"
"Taint no gal's picture." offered the man at the fire. "That's a
charm. Hey, French Ain't I right?" Edmond looked up absently from
his letter.
"What is it?" he asked
"Ain't that a charm you got round your neck?"
"It must be, Nick returned Edmond with a smile. I don't know
how I could have gone through this year and a half without it."
The letter had made Edmond heartsick and homesick He
stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking
stars. Sut he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain
spring day when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her
as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened
about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing
miniatures of her father and mother it was

"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
