bernice bobs her hair
by f. scott fitzgerald (excerpt)
all through the bridge party bernice strove in vain to master a rising uneasiness. she had offended marjorie, the sphinx of sphinxes. with the most wholesome and innocent intentions in the world, she had stolen marjorie's property. she felt suddenly and horribly guilty. after the bridge game, when they sat in an informal circle and the conversation became general, the storm gradually broke. little otis ormonde inadvertently precipitated it.
"when you going back to kindergarten, otis? " someone had asked.
"me? day bernice gets her hair bobbed."
"then your education's over," said marjorie quickly. "that's only a bluff of hers. i should think you'd have realized."
"that a fact? " demanded otis, giving bernice a reproachful glance.
bernice's ears burned as she tried to think up an effectual come-back. in the face of this direct attack, her imagination was paralyzed.
"there's a lot of bluffs in the world," continued marjorie quite pleasantly. "i should think you'd be young enough to know that, otis."
"well," said otis, "maybe so. but gee! with a line like bernice's——"
"really? " yawned marjorie. "what's her latest bon mot? "
no one seemed to know. in fact, bernice, having trifled with her muse's beau, had said nothing memorable of late.
"was that really all a line? " asked roberta curiously.
bernice hesitated. she felt that wit in some form was demanded of her, but under her cousin's suddenly frigid eyes she was completely incapacitated.
"i don't know," she stalled.
"splash! " said marjorie. "admit it! "
bernice saw that warren's eyes had left a ukulele he had been tinkering with and were fixed on her questioningly.

"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
