Read the extract below from "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee and answer the questions that follow.
Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was near-sighted; she squinted; her hand was as wide as a bed slat and twice as hard. She was always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking me why I could not behave as well as Jem when she new he was older, and calling me home when I wasn't ready to come. Our battles were epic and one sided. Caplurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence as long as I could remember.
Q1 Use two words to describe how the writer felt about Calpurnia.
Q2 What literary devices did Harper Lee use to describe Calpurnia?
