What rhetorical device is used in this excerpt from mark twain's "the danger of lying in bed"? the man in the ticket-office said: "have an accident insurance ticket, also? " "no," i said, after studying the matter over a little. "no, i believe not; i am going to be traveling by rail all day today. however, tomorrow i don't travel. give me one for tomorrow." the man looked puzzled. he said: "but it is for accident insurance, and if you are going to travel by rail—" "if i am going to travel by rail i sha'n't need it. lying at home in bed is the thing i am afraid of." i had been looking into this matter. last year i traveled twenty thousand miles, almost entirely by rail; the year before, i traveled over twenty-five thousand miles, half by sea and half by rail; and the year before that i traveled in the neighborhood of ten thousand miles, exclusively by rail. i suppose if i put in all the little odd journeys here and there, i may say i have traveled sixty thousand miles during the three years i have mentioned. and never an accident. allusion rhetorical question anecdote logic nextreset
