First when sexton says; "a thousand doors ago" in the poem "young" she uses a hyperbole, an extreme exaggeration, to explain what time in her life she is talking about. next sexton says; "the wise stars bedding over me" in the poem "young" she uses personification, gives human characteristics to non-humans, to explain that she is outside at night, with the stars above her. third sexton says; "the boards on the house were smooth and white as wax" in the poem "young" she uses imagery, concrete or abstract images that appeal to the scenes, to show that the boards on the house were smooth. and she uses a simile when she says "white as wax" which means she used like or as to compare two subjects. in this line she compares the color white and wax to explain further what color the house was.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
