A Mercy Paragraph Analysis 2

An analysis of the paragraph showed good literary devices and word choice. The imagery that was shown was hogs browsing the ocean shore turning it into dunes of sand where nothing green could ever grow again. A value for them was animal fur since it said they had a hunger for it. The other value was the expectations of the sachem's revised prophecy. Another value to them was swine because it was legal to kill the foraging swine but they were hesitant about it. A characterization of them was that they can spit out horribleness that would destroy all primary peoples. Another can be how Sir and Mistress tried to run their farm. There were some good word choices in the paragraph that were, childish hunger for animal fur and befoul sacred places. Like some literary devices that are already been said there was also a simile that was,"They would come with languages that sounded like dog bark."
