Review the claim joshua makes, as well as the reasoning he cites to support it. the funding of the public library should be protected because the library offers important programs and services that benefit the whole community. the most important effects of the library cuts will not be limited to children, senior citizens, or other specific groups. is joshua's reasoning sound? yes, joshua's reasoning is sound because it can be proven through research and statistics that many different types of people use the library's services. yes, joshua's reasoning is sound because he himself is not a child or senior citizen, and he uses the library's services. no, joshua's reasoning is not sound because he hasn't asked every member of the community whether they use library services. no, joshua's reasoning is not sound because sarah tomlinson is not an expert on library funding.

"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
