Question

Read the following paragraph from "Chickamauga."

There is one big figurative language that is used. Please find it and tell me which one it is.


ONE SUNNY AUTUMN afternoon a child strayed away from its rude home in a small field and entered a forest

unobserved. It was happy in a new sense of freedom from control, happy in the opportunity of exploration and

adventure; for this child’s spirit, in bodies of its ancestors, had for thousands of years been trained to memorable

feats of discovery and conquest—victories in battles whose critical moments were centuries, whose victors’ camps

were cities of hewn stone. From the cradle of its race, it had conquered its way through two continents and

passing a great sea had penetrated a third, there to be born to war and dominion as a heritage.
