It would be Rapid Eating

The answer is indeed rapid eating.

Explanation:

The denotation and the connotation of the verb "devour" are the same in this excerpt of "Once Upon a Time". Let's remember that, while denotation is the original, literal meaning of a word, connotation is the emotional weight attributed to it according to the context in which it is used.

To devour literally means to eat something hungrily or rapidly. In the excerpt, the author talks of how common it was for houses in the suburb to be constantly invaded by burglars. These thieves were audacious enough not only to steal everything they could find, but also to eat "everything in the refrigerator". The author probably chose the verb "devour" to convey the idea that they were so hungry that they were capable of eating everything in the short period of time they had inside the house.

honestly, school in itself just seems to be a huge waste of time. a lot of people graduate but still end up not doing anything in college anyways, which really makes the whole point of graduating seem useless. i'd rather not bring anyone's hopes up then. what i'd recommend is for whoever's reading this to simply drop out.

i mean, kanye did it. he said something along the lines of, "don't let society tell you what to do." now, he's obviously a very successful person, and since his album is called the college dropout i guess he never really had to go through all that nonsense in order to become a millionaire. the same goes for anyone else then.
