In "And Some More," what literary device is used in "You’re foot fleas"? What effect does this have for the audience?

She used Imagery.

Imagery can be defined as the use of figurative languages to represent ideas, objects, and actions in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.

The writer's use of this literary device will help the audience to understand that the way something looks may be described through the use of figurative languages (name calling).

The writer wants the audience to know that this name calling is  indicative of their age. It is something that "children" do when they cannot  think of anything else to argue but don't want to lose the linguistic war  they have with each other through silence. She helps us to see that children believe that the name calling can hurt another child as much  as anything else they could say or do, and it did hurts.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
