Stylistic Analysis

All the peculiarities of the characters and of the plot are presented with the ussage of different stylistic devices and expressive means

1) lexical: 

epithet - " It is the finest thing ", " the solemn hush of these dreaming solitudes", " This is sufficiently high-handed," a secluded place", " great and fine and noble education", "frightful noises", 

simile - " It looks no more like a dodo than I do.", " That sounds like a cheap fling at the poor creature", " not like kangaroo fur, but exactly like our hair except that it is much finer and softer,", "The new one is as ugly as the old one was at first".

metaphor - "I wish it would not talk; it is always talking. That sounds like a cheap fling at the poor creature, a slur; "and any new and strange sound intruding itself here upon the solemn hush of these dreaming solitudes offends my ear and seems a false note" 

personification - " and I am glad because the snake talks" ,," She says the snake advises her to try the fruit of the tree, and says the result will be a great and fine and noble education"

metonymy - "This new creature with the long hair is a good deal in the way", " The new creature names everything"

periphrasis - "Her mind is disordered--everything shows it. Sometimes she carries the fish in her arms half the night when it complains and wants to get to the water. At such times the water comes out of the places in her face that she looks out of, and she pats the fish on the back and makes soft sounds with her mouth to soothe it, and betrays sorrow and solicitude in a hundred ways", " It has ceased from lying around, and goes about on its four legs now. Yet it differs from the other four legged animals, in that its front legs are unusually short, consequently this causes the main part of its person to stick up uncomfortably high in the air, and this is not attractive. It is built much as we are, but its method of traveling shows that it is not of our breed. The short front legs and long hind ones indicate that it is a of the kangaroo family, but it is a marked variation of that species, since the true kangaroo hops, whereas this one never does."

irony - " The new creature calls it Niagara Falls —why, I am sure I do not know. Says it LOOKS like Niagara Falls. That is not a reason, it is mere waywardness and imbecility.", " The new creature says its name is Eve. That is all right, I have no objections. Says it is to call it by, when I want it to come. I said it was superfluous, then. The word evidently raised me in its respect; and indeed it is a large, good word and will bear repetition. It says it is not an It, it is a She. This is probably doubtful; yet it is all one to me; what she is were nothing to me if she would but go by herself and not talk."

2) syntactical: 

ellipsis - "Been examining the great waterfall", "Built me a shelter against the rain"

aposiopesis - "I wish it would stay with the other animals. . . . Cloudy today, wind in the east; think we shall have rain. . . . WE?", "I have not missed any rib. . . ."

inversion - "Hungry as I was, I laid down the apple half-eaten", "The word justification moved her admiration--and envy, too, I thought", " She doesn't work, Sundays, but lies around all tired out"

polysyndeton - "I escaped last Tuesday night, and traveled two days, and built me another shelter in a secluded place, and obliterated my tracks as well as I could", " When I tried to put it out it shed water out of the holes it looks with, and wiped it away with the back of its paws, and made a noise such as some of the other animals make when they are in distress"

repetitions - "pulled through", " This new creature with the long hair ", " I will escape"

climax - "And this new sound is so close to me; it is right at my shoulder, right at my ear, first on one side and then on the other, and I am used only to sounds that are more or less distant from me", " the result will be a great and fine and noble education "

3). phonetic: 

alliteration - " I wish it would stay", " It looks no more like a dodo than I do.", " does not look like " ;

4). graphic: 

capitalization - "I had a very good name for the estate, and it was musical and pretty —GARDEN OF EDEN", " it has been new-named NIAGARA FALLS PARK", "says it LOOKS like that", punctuation - "FRIDAY. The naming goes recklessly on, in spite of anything I can do. I had a very good name for the estate, and it was musical and pretty —GARDEN OF EDEN. Privately, I continue to call it that, but not any longer publicly. The new creature says it is all woods and rocks and scenery, and therefore has no resemblance to a garden. Says it LOOKS like a park, and does not look like anything BUT a park. Consequently, without consulting me, it has been new-named NIAGARA FALLS PARK. This is sufficiently high-handed, it seems to me.
