in the scarlet ibis What literary devices does Hurst use to tell his story? Provide a minimum of three (3). How do these devices help make the story effective? Offer textual support.

three literary resources presented in the text are imagerys, paradoxes and personification.

Explanation:

The text presents many descriptions about nature, most of which are made using imagerys, which allow the creation of vivid images in the reader's mind. That's because Imagery is a literary resource that has the ability to stimulate the five senses of the reader, through words. In this case, the imagery stimulates the vision, making the reader, in fact, visualize what is being narrated. An example of using imagery can be seen in the lines: "The flower garden was strained with rotting brown magnolia petals and ironweeds grew rank amid the purple phlox."

The paradox is also a literary resource used in the text and can be seen, mainly, when we analyze the narrator's pride, since he is proud to teach Doodle to walk and although Doodle is very happy this is what causes his death. The paradox is a resource that presents two opposing ideas in the same system. It can be viewed on the lines: "I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death."

The text also presents the literary resource known as personification, which is the resource that allows inanimate objects to gain human characteristics, skills and behaviors. This gives the text a playful, poetic and even subjunctive character, which may increase the meaning of some terms. An example of personification can be seen in the line: "The last graveyard flowers were blooming, and their smell drifted across the cotton field and through every room of our house, speaking softy the names of our dead."
