Identify at least one example each of alliteration, assonance, consonance, and imagery. discuss the effect of these devices. from this peom

the skies they were ashen and sober;
the leaves they were crispéd and sere—
the leaves they were withering and sere;
it was night in the lonesome october
of my most immemorial year;
it was hard by the dim lake of auber,
in the misty mid region of weir—
it was down by the dank tarn of auber,
in the ghoul-haunted woodland of weir.

here once, through an alley titanic,
of cypress, i roamed with my soul—
of cypress, with psyche, my soul.
these were days when my heart was volcanic
as the scoriac rivers that roll—
as the lavas that restlessly roll
their sulphurous currents down yaanek
in the ultimate climes of the pole—
that groan as they roll down mount yaanek
in the realms of the boreal pole.

our talk had been serious and sober,
but our thoughts they were palsied and sere—
our memories were treacherous and sere—
for we knew not the month was october,
and we marked not the night of the year—
(ah, night of all nights in the year! )
we noted not the dim lake of auber—
(though once we had journeyed down here)—
we remembered not the dank tarn of auber,
nor the ghoul-haunted woodland of weir.

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
