    Through the use of similes and imagery‚ Coffin argues that though death is inevitable and emotions are overwhelming‚ one must persevere.

    In the section I selected from ‘Us and Them‚’ the author‚ David Sedaris‚ uses a plethora of literary devices to comedically depict a mundane conversation and a boy’s mother’s reaction to it. The conversation depicted in the passage‚ and its following few lines‚ are perfect representations of the flow of feelings produced by uncomfortable conversation.
