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.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?
