The literary device employed in the passage is dialect. Dialect is a form of language that is specific to a particular region or group of people. In this passage, the character's speech is written in non-standard English, reflecting their regional accent and manner of speaking. This can be identified by the use of colloquialisms such as "ain't" and the omission of letters in words like "creatur" instead of "creature". The purpose of using dialect is to provide an authentic representation of the character and their cultural background, adding depth and realism to the story.
