1my brother bugs me all the time about my diary. 2 he wants to know what sisters write in total secrecy. 3 i tell him that my diary is boring as a textbook, 4 but only so he doesn’t try to take a sneaky look. what poetic device is being used when the poet says that she told her brother, "my diary is boring as a textbook"?

dude, * is in your own words, not mine.

* = the answer

in "people in peace, not profit and war" chrisholm uses inductive reasoning for her argument against defense spending by stating that the new administration, like most americans, wanted to invest in social objectives, so they must not want to prioritize defense spending. mr. nixon said "we can delay no longer in launching new approaches to the problem that beset them", but chrisholm points out that the programs were delayed anyways.
