Literary help. Just one question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what type of question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Literary Technique answer choice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the literary technique in the following quote from "A Noiseless Flash": Timbers fell around her as she landed, and a shower of tiles pummeled her; everything became dark, for she was buried. The debris did not cover her deeply. She rose up and freed herself. She heard a child cry, "Mother, help me!," and saw her youngest-Myeko, the five-year-old-buried up to her breast and unable to move. As Mrs. Nakamura started frantically to claw her way toward the baby, she could see or hear nothing of her other children. foreshadowing irony sensory detail

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's sensory detail.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are correct, it is sensory detailing because the choice of words evoke a sense of urgency and fret from the reader

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks, I have one more, you don't mind me asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"There, in the tin factory, in the first moment of the atomic age, a human being was crushed by books" is an example of what literary technique? foreshadowing conflict irony

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Conflict, I'm guessing..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think this is irony; a human is being crushed by books in an "atomic" age..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

conflict is when a character is struggling against differing forces, such as man vs man, man vs society or man vs self, or man vs nature
