Read these two passages from The Phantom Tollbooth. Passage 1: "KILLING TIME!" roared the dog--so furiously that his alarm went off. "It's bad enough wasting time without killing it." And he shuddered at the thought. "Why are you in the Doldrums anyway--don't you have anywhere to go?" Passage 2: Milo began to think as hard as he could (which was very difficult, since he wasn't used to it). He thought of birds that swim and fish that fly. He thought of yesterday's lunch and tomorrow's dinner. He thought of words that began with J and numbers that end in 3. And, as he thought, the wheels began to turn. One similarity between these passages is that the author uses a literary device in both to illustrate the setting’s bizarreness. illustrate the characters’ behavior. create a realistic effect. create a fantastic effect.
