To whom it may concern: i am interested in the job i saw postd in the lunchroom at jefferson high school. i’ve babysat neighborhood children a couple of times and i think it’d be fun to work in a preschool. children seem to like me and i don’t mind hanging out with them. it’s pretty easy to keep them amused. i know that working at the preschool will be different than being in someones house, but i think i can handle it. i learn quickly and am pretty flexible about most things. i’m looking forward to talking to you about this position. i can’t start until after the holidays, but i can work any afternoon except fridays. lisa sullay evaluate the tone of this cover letter. is it appropriate? the tone is appropriate for this type of job, but the writer needs to add more detail. the tone is appropriate, but the writer needs to proofread the letter. the tone is too casual, and the letter contains many errors. the tone is appropriate, and the letter is ready to send as it is.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
