Y
ou
pass
from
the
heat
and
glare
of
a
big,
open
square
into
a
cool,
dark
cavern
which
extends as
far as the eye
can see,
losing
itself
in
the shadowy
distance.

The
machine
is
operated
by
one
man,
who
shovels
the
linseed
pulp
into
a
stone vat,

ropes, and then throws
his
weight on to
a
great beam
made out of a
tree
trunk to set the ropes and
pulleys in motion.
[transferred epithet]
6.
Ancient girders creak and groan, ropes
tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes
down a stone runnel into a used petrol
can.
[onomatopoeia]
7.
Quickly
the
trickle
becomes
a
flood
of
glistening
linseed
oil
as
the
beam
sinks
earthwards , taut and protesting,
its
creaks blending with the squeaking
and
rumbling of the
grinding-
wheels and the occasional
grunts and sighs of
the
camels.

The
rather
arresting
spectacle
of
little
old

adrift

[metonymy]

Seldom
has a
city

for
its--oysters.
[anti-climax]

I
see
advancing
upon
all
this
in
hideous
onslaught
the
Nazi
war

with
its
clanking,
heel
clicking;
dandified
Prussian
officers……
[onomatopoeia]
2.
I
see
also
the
dull,
drilled,
docile,
brutish
masses
of
the
Hun
soldiery
plodding on like a swarm of crawling
locusts.
[alliteration, simile]
3.
Behind
all
this
glare,
behind
all
this
storm,
I
see
that
small

who
plan,
organise,
and
launch
this
cataract
of
horror
upon
mankind.

fight
him by
land,
we
shall
fight
him by sea, we
shall
fight
him
in
the
air,
until,
with
God's
help,
we
have
rid
the
earth
of
his
shadow
and
liberated its peoples
from his yoke.
[parallel structure]
8.
The
Russian
danger
is
therefore
our
danger,
and
the
danger
of
the
United
States, just as the
cause of any Russian fighting for his hearth and
home is the
cause
of
free
men
and
free
peoples
in
every
quarter
of
the
globe.
[alliteration]

If
all
this
comes
to
pass--
still
a
very
big
if--the
next
step
could
be
what
Digital Media's Caruso calls
“complete
viewer control.”
She says consumers
would
be
a
little
like
information
“cowboys,”
rounding
up
data
from
computer-based
archives
and
information
services.
There
will
be
thousands
of
“channels” delivered, Caruso thinks,
through some combination of cable,
telephone,
satellite
and
cellular
networks.
To
prevent
getting
trampled
by
a
stampede of data,
viewers
will
rely on programmed
electronic selectors that
could
go
out
into
the
info
corral
and
rope
in
the
subjects
the
viewer
wants.
[analogy]

Caruso's

gold mine of information.
[metaphor]
7.
It's
one
thing
to
zap
a
cartoon
mutant
in
an
arcade,
quite
another
when
clicking
on
the
screen
means
shooting
bullets
and
spilling
blood
from
a
human.

Most
Americans remember Mark
Twain as the

endless

[hyperbole]
2.
a
man
who
became
obsessed
with
the
frailties

The
geographic
core,
in
Twain's

the
young
nation's
heart.

decks
teemed
not
only

pioneering
humanity
,
but
its
flotsam
of
hustlers,
gamblers,
and
thugs
as
well.
