- "[...] hopeful humanity, herded and hovered the inside [...]"
- The author uses alliteration here because it describes how lots of people come to this particular area to work. This scene creates a calm mood because the repeating of the letter "h", the sound kind of persuades a smooth calm feeling to the people.
P. 119 Repitition
- "Who Flung had taken her to a shabby room in a shabby house in a shabby street and promised to marry her the next day."
- The author uses repitition here because it shows how Janie is scared for her situation with Tea Cake. The fear that Janie establishes is of Tea Cake leaving her all alone. This repitition shows the fear for Janies heart towards Tea Cake and the trust she put on him. This repitition is also attached to the emotions of Janie, the continuing fear being left all alone again.
P. 116 Personification
- "The train beat on itself and danced on the shiny steel rails mile after mile."
- The author uses personification here because she is trying to portray a happy scene with the train dancing on the rails. Janie was on the train and was happy that she and Tea Cake were finally going to getting married. Using personfication here shows joy in Janie.
