Read the following passage from 'The Seventh Man." What literary device does the author use?
We stepped down to the other side of the breakwater and walked along the broad beach,
examining the things that had come to rest there. Plastic toys, sandals, chunks of wood
that had probably once been parts of furniture, pieces of clothing, unusual bottles, broken
crates with foreign writing on them, and other, less recognizable items: it was like a big
candy store.
