What literary devices are found in Chapter 21?

There are several examples of
foreshadowing found in Chapter 21 of To Kill a
Mockingbird. One comes when Reverend Sykes remarks to Scout
that

"I ain't
ever seen any jury decide in favor of a colored man over a white
man..."

Reverend Sykes will
soon be proven correct. Another occurs when Scout watches the jury walk in. She notes
that no jury ever looks a convicted man in the eyes,

... and when this jury came in, not one of them
looked at Tom Robinson.

A
personification occurs
when

• "the old courthouse clock suffered its
  preliminary
  strain..."

Similes
include

• "the courtroom was exactly the same as a
  cold February morning..."


• "it (the courtroom scene) was
  like watching Atticus walk into the street, raise a rifle to his shoulder and pull the
  trigger..."
