Aman made cold by the universe”
by sherry simpson
we do talk about christopher mccandless in alaska. we talk about him a lot. we can’t ourselves. mostly the discussion is in response to the book, and mostly it is not favorable because of the way mccandless stars as a romantic hero. krakauer describe mccandless as searching for something beyond his privileged but disappointing middle-class existence. “it would be easy to stereotype christopher mccandless as another boy who felt too much, a loopy young man who read too many books and lacked even a modicum of common sense,” krakauer wrote. “but the stereotype isn’t a good fit. mccandless wasn’t some feckless slacker, adrift and confused, racked by existential despair. to the contrary: his life hummed with meaning and purpose. but the meaning he wrested from existence lay beyond the comfortable path: mccandless distrusted the value of things that came easily. he demanded much of himself—more, in the end, than he could deliver.”
simpson uses all of the following rhetorical devices to establish her position in this paragraph except
a. mixed metaphor
b. ethos
c. contrast
d. repetition
e. pathos

the answer is b. the tracer looks harmless in flight, but the pilot’s bitten lips and white knuckles suggest how dangerous it can be.
