What is the effect of Hawthrone’s use of both comparison and contrast in description in the passage (need now plz)

post the passage. we don’t know what you’re talking about

voracity is the noun corresponding to the adjective voracious, which means (1) eager to consume a great amount of food, or (2) marked by an insatiable appetite. veracity is far more common than the rare voracity, so the latter is sometimes used in place of the former.
