"The Raven" and "The Incident In a Rose Garden" Narrative Elements

"The Raven"

                    In "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, alliteration is the device that plays a larger role. He uses it when he says, "And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain." It plays a large role because it's to repeat a particular sound in the prominent lifts of a sense of words or phrase.

 "The Incident In The Rose Garden"

                    In "The Incident In The Rose Garden" by Donald Justice, imagery is the device that plays a larger role. He uses it when he says, "He had air of someone, who because he likes arriving at all appointments early learns to think himself patient. I watched him pinch one bloom off and hold it to his nose- A connoisseur of roses- One bloom and then another. They strewed the earth around him." It plays a large role because it's to add more depth to the scene.
