The skies they were ashen and sober;
The leaves they were crispéd and sere—
The leaves they were withering and sere;
It was night in the lonesome October
Of my most immemorial year;
It was hard by the dim lake of Auber,
In the misty mid region of Weir—
It was down by the dank tarn of Auber,
In the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.
Here once, through an alley Titanic,
Of cypress, I roamed with my Soul—
Of cypress, with Psyche, my Soul.
These were days when my heart was volcanic
As the scoriac rivers that roll—
As the lavas that restlessly roll
Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek
In the ultimate climes of the pole—
That groan as they roll down Mount Yaanek
In the realms of the boreal pole.
Our talk had been serious and sober,
But our thoughts they were palsied and sere—
Our memories were treacherous and sere—
For we knew not the month was October,
And we marked not the night of the year—
(Ah, night of all nights in the year!)
We noted not the dim lake of Auber—
(Though once we had journeyed down here)—
We remembered not the dank tarn of Auber,
Nor the ghoul-haunted woodland of Weir.

Alliteration is a figure of language consisting of the repetition of the same consonant phonemes and was one of the linguistic resources most used by the symbolist poets. In the text can be shown in the excerpt:   "In the misty mid region of Weir—" Assonance is a figure of speech or a sound feature that consists of repeating vowel sounds in a verse or phrase, especially the tonic syllables. In the text can be noted in the excerpt:  "woodland of Weir" Consonance is a figure of speech usad to represent the harmonious set of sounds, which are pleasing to the human ear, through the repetition of consonants. in the testo can be noted in the excerpt:  "sulphurous currents down Yaanek" Imagery is the figure of language that uses descriptive terms to give depth to a term used by the author. In the text can be noted in the excerpt:  "The skies they were ashen and sober"

Alliteration: " as the scoriac Rivers that Roll— As the lavas that Restlessly Roll" (the 'r' sound is being repeated at the beginnings of words)

assonance: "In the ultimate climes of the pOle— That grOan as they rOll dOwn MOunt Yaanek In the realms of the bOreal pOle" (the vowel sound "o" is repeated throughout the words) 

consonance: "of CypreSS, with PSyche, my Soul" (the consonant "s" sound is repeated at the beginning and ends of words)

These sound devices have a sing-songy effect on the poem which helps create the mystical and mysterious mood. It almost lulls the reader into a type of trance through the memory of the narrator. 

imagery: "As the lavas that restlessly roll Their sulphurous currents down Yaanek" 

This strong imagery helps to bring the memories to life for the reader  and helps the reader relate to the mindset and the emotions of the narrator by providing images to compare them to. Comparing his heart bursting to the way lava flows down the side of a mountain creates a strong image.

Alliteration is the repetition of a word of sound within the same phrase, such as "Ulalume"; Asonance is a vowel coincidence in the termination of two words, such as "it was night in the lonesome october

of my most immemorial year"; the consonance is an unmotivated use of words that are very close for each other, such as " we noted not the dim lake of Auber- (though once we had journeyed down here)"; and the poetic image describes something real through words, such as "these are days when my heart was volcanic", which explains his heart beats too strong.

The correct answer is: simile

Through this text, we can see that the phrase "It is as if a great earthen pot has dropped from an unreachable rafter'' represents a comparison with the doubts that the narrator presents. This comparison is made through two elements that have nothing in common, but that the author uses to create a new meaning about one of them. This is done through simile.

Answer:

Please, see below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Thoreau states, “… When an acorn and a chestnut fall side by side… bothobey their own laws…” (3). This can be interpreted as success being obtainable withoutthe assistance of another. The acorn and the chestnut are two individuals that are uniquein their own way yet had the same result. The same goes for people; for those reachingthe same goal as another, it is much better to do it under your qualities and your own way.The purpose of this passage was for Thoreau to inform his audience on his viewson the government and its negative affects on civilization. With its restrictions, peoplecannot fully live up to their potential because the bureaucracy will always limit them.Thoreau wants his audience to become successful in their own manor and uses theserhetorical devices to sync with his readers
