Explanation:
The tale of "Aunt Misery" is a short story by author Judith Ortiz Cofer. Aunt Misery is an old woman who lives alone. Her most precious possession is a pear tree. Kids from the neighborhood are constantly climbing up and shaking the branches of the tree to steal its fruit. When Aunt Misery has a chance to make a wish, she wishes that anyone who climbs her pear tree gets stuck and cannot come down without her permission. A sorcerer grants her wish, and Aunt Misery teaches the kids a lesson.
As she gets older, she is visited by Death. Aunt Misery is a very clever woman. She treats Death kindly. Instead of screaming or protesting, saying she does not want to die, that she refuses to go, she merely asks Death for a favor. Death agrees to climb up the pear tree to pluck some pears for Aunt Misery. He gets stuck and only gets permission to climb down many years later, after agreeing to not take Aunt Misery.
It was Aunt Misery's attitude toward Death that prevented her from being taken by him. Even though he looked "suffocated and exhausted", Aunt Misery allowed him into her home. Even upon his revealing who he really is, she is still nice to him. If she had been rude, she wouldn't have tricked him into letting her live.

Explanation:
This particular excerpt comes from Martin Luther King´s "Letter from Brimigham Jail" when Dr. King is being accused of injustice in his attempt at aiding the cause for the Civil Rights Movement. The speech that is born from his time in jail, is probably one of the most literary-rich texts ever written, with a lot of figurative language having been used by Dr. King, in his attempt to sway people, and convince them to see, the righteousness of his cause. Figurative language is a technique in literature, and writing, that serves as a means to indirectly express a specific purpose, but through subtle, and sometimes hidden, symbols, words, images, or other such techniques. Figurative language seeks to engage the creative and interpretive mind of an audience or reader and to stimulate their capacity to feel moved by the messages being sent through the senses. In this excerpt, Dr. King uses a particular figurative language device called Allusion, which is literally a device in which the writer uses historical data, facts and stories, in order to convey a specific message to the audience. By mentioning Hitler, and Nazi Germany, Dr. King alludes to the American people to compare the two cases: the African American Civil Rights cause, and the situation of the Jews unjustly punished by the Nazis, and helps Americans to have a historical reference that will convince them of the need to support the Civil Rights cause.
