But in the main, I feel like a brown bag of miscellany propped against a wall. Against a wall in company with other bags, white, red, and yellow. Pour out the contents, and there is discovered a jumble of small things: priceless lengths of string, a key to a door long since crumbled away, a rusty knife-blade, old shoes saved for a road that never was and never will be a nail bent under the weight of things too heavy for any nail, a dried flower or two still a little fragrant. In your hand is the brown bag. On the ground before you is the jumble it held-so much like the jumble in the bags, could they be emptied, that all might be dumped in a single heap and the bags refilled without altering the content of any greatly. A bit of colored glass more or less would not matter. Perhaps that is how the Great Stuffer of Bags filled them in the first place-who knows?"Great Stuffer of Bags" is an example of what literary device?
Correct answer: B. Personification
- A. Onomatopoeia
- B. Personification
- C. Allusion
- D. Assonance
Explanation
Personification involves attributing human actions or qualities to non-human entities. "Great Stuffer of Bags" gives a human-like action (stuffing bags) to an abstract concept, fitting this definition.
