The Liberty Bell is a national symbol that is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bell was made in London in 1752 and placed in the Pennsylvania State House (now called Independence Hall).The bell first became associated with liberty after writer George Lippard wrote a story in which a bell was rung after the Declaration of Independence was signed. President Franklin Pierce called the bell a symbol of American liberty and the American Revolution. Though it symbolized liberty, the bell also served as a reminder that many people were actually enslaved. The Liberty Bell got its name from early abolitionists who adopted it as their symbol. The abolitionists pointed out that though part of the bell’s inscription says “Proclaim Liberty,” not all the people throughout the land were liberated.
When the bell was rung for the first time after it arrived in Philadelphia, it cracked. The bell’s crack has been repaired twice. One story says that it cracked when it rang after the death of Chief Supreme Court Justice John Marshall in 1835. Another said the bell was cracked during one of its traveling exhibitions. Whatever its origin, the crack is said to add to the bell’s character, so it has not been repaired again.

"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
