Name two literary elements or techniques that are at work in the following passage from Chapter 28:
"High above us in the darkness a solitary mocker poured out his repertoire in blissful unawareness of whose tree he sat in, plunging from the shrill keep, keep of the sunflower bird to the irascible quack of a bluejay, to the sad lament of Poor Will, Poor Will, Poor Will."

In the above passage strong imagery is used to help paint a solid picture in the reader's mind. Sentences such as "poured out his repertoire in blissful unawareness" help to do this. Onomatopoeia is used as well, in the form as words such as "quack" and "shrill keep, keep." These words add to the overall imagery in the paragraph.

In the passage, personification is used when describing the mocker. It is referred to as a "he." This helps to relate to an animal more. Repetition is also used when describing the sounds of the birds. This makes them more emphasised.

I agree that Lee is trying to paint a vivid picture here for the reader and does so through these literary devices and choice of words. |

Repetition is also used when describing the sounds of the birds. This makes them more emphasised. I agree, and perhaps the meaning of this passage is to hinting something coming, as the bird is described to be singing in "blissful unawareness". |

In this passage, personification is used when describing the "solitary mocker" and also onomatopoeia as animals noises such as "quack" have been included to add to the imagery of the passage.

Personification has been used as described by the "solitary mocker" and repetition is also included at the end with "Poor Will, Poor Will, Poor Will" which gives highlight to the the sympathy one feels.

Yes, there is personification used. I like the inclusion of the use of onomatopoeia as it does add a certain amount of imagery to the passage. |

These are great examples of literary techniques. You could have also said repetition in relation to the sounds as there are many repeated sounds (such as the birds calls) in chapter 28. |

You could of also added repetition in reference to when it reads "Poor Will, Poor Will, Poor Will." |

Personification was a good pick up. Other literary techniques that stood out were onomatopoeia and imagery. |
