Paradox :)
It seems you have omitted the lines you are referring to. Please provide the lines so I can identify the literary device being used.
To accurately identify the figure of speech or literary device the author is using, I would need the specific passage you're referring to. Common literary devices include metaphors, similes, personification, and imagery, each serving different purposes in enhancing the text's meaning and emotional impact. Please provide the passage for a more precise analysis.
The literary device being exhibited in this passage is a simile. The comparison between the scrape of movement and a leaf on the pavement helps create a vivid image and conveys the sound's characteristics to the reader.
parrelelism
In the passage where Farquhar escapes by swimming through the river and the author describes how the natural world around him distorts and warps, creating a dreamlike quality. The literary device used is surrealism, as the imagery and descriptions evoke a sense of a distorted reality that mimics the unpredictability and fluid nature of dreams.
This sentence contains the literary device called personification. Personification gives human characteristics to non-human things, in this case, giving leaves the ability to whisper.
It is highly unlikely for a song to contain every literary device, as literary devices are diverse and extensive. However, a song that incorporates multiple literary devices such as metaphors, similes, alliteration, and symbolism is "Hotel California" by The Eagles.
