"when one slapped one's child in anger the recoil in the heart reverberated through heaven and became part of the pain in the universe." what rhetorical device is james baldwin most clearly using in this passage? a. imagery b. parallelism c. allusion d. figurative language the answer is d!

D) figurative language.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given passage, James Baldwin is most clearly using figurative language as a rhetorical device, because the way he describes the consequences of slapping a child in anger, is not meant to be taken literally.

in the thematic approach, an interpreter relies on a central theme (i.e., a major point or message) to guide development of a communication activity or device. in presenting the activity or device, the thematic interpreter develops the theme in such a way that it will be highly relevant to an audience.
