Which literary device is being illustrated in these short passages? A passage may illustrate more than one device. Number your answers correctly. Passage One “He always calls me his Darling Daughter Deza, and I am supposed to answer that he is my Dearest Delightful Daddy. He calls Jimmie the Genuine, Gentle Jumpin’ Giant, and Jimmie’s supposed to call him his Fine Friendly Father Figure. Father also calls Mother the Marvelous Mammalian Matriarch, but she says she won’t respond because she refuses to play silly word games with such ‘a hardheaded husband who hasn’t heard how horrible he is". Passage Two “A few blocks away, inside St. Joseph’s Church, Gerald Coleman lay surrounded by splintered boards. When he looked up, he could see the sky. The tall roof, shaped like an upside-down V, was gone. The church’s arched windows gaped glassless. Unseen by Gerald, his friend Leo—the other alter boy—was trapped beneath a large wooden beam. Gerald scramble through a hole in the wall and ran for home”. Passage Three “Moose are large, and essentially insane with almost pathological hatred of the dogs, the sled, the musher, trees, trains, cars, and everything else as near as I can figure. When they come at you it’s like getting run over by Buick with legs”. Passage Four “Every summer the local news carries stories about people who poison themselves accidentally by inhaling oleander fumes from a beach bonfire. Or people who use oleander twigs to roast hot dogs. But what had drawn me was the photo of the oleander growing next to the orphanage, all the way in Afghanistan. It bonded us all together—Ward, Dad, and me. Poisonous, yet, but in its own way, oleander is beautiful and it grows in places that more delicate plants can’t” Passage Five “People started screaming at the top of their lungs. Campers stormed the court, lifting us up on their shoulders as if we’d won the NBA championship (or the Nobel Prize). Kids were hugging each other. It was a madhouse. A happy madhouse”
