The author states, “She is humming a song from childhood, her arms are heavy and strong they have held babies, a husband, tractor parts and gas tanks, what have they not found a place for?” These objects are important to her because they give her comfort, happiness, and remind of her of the past times she loved. The author states, “‘Stay awhile,’ Mrs. Caldera says, and never have you felt so valuable.” Mrs. Caldera considers the items she keeps as precious and valuable;…

    Fundamentally, rain is never just rain in a story. Usually, it can be used as an indication for something. At the very beginning of the book, inside the prologue, it begins with, “After dark the rain began to fall again” (1). This scene is when the man in an olive coat, who later is found out to be Claude, is seen buying a very suspicious looking poison from an old man in South Korea. The indication given here is the showing of a bad omen. The reader is given…

Fear led the boys to make illogical choices and the overall thirst for power and dominance caused them to act uncivilized to one another. After being on the island for so long, the boys became aware that it wasn’t crashing on an island that drove them to savagery, but that it was having to deal with each other that led them to the lifestyle they lived. The deterioration of morality among the boys caused them to act in ways they wouldn’t have if they hadn’t crashed on the island.

    The author of the short story Only Ten hooks the reader in on the first couple sentences because of the mystery of The Shah and the way he describes him. He starts off the story with showing how difficult it can be for refugees to adapt and fit in in another country. As it shows in the orientation it is not uncommon for these people to have a hard time fitting in and opening up in the new place. This can happen to any person not just a refugee but it can be especially hard for them because of them being different. The author shows this by describing The Shah in a certain way that we use what we know of immigrants and apply it to him. Because of refugees being different they could be picked on and even attacked. The author uses similes such as “Bruce leaped at The Shah with a wild yell, swinging his ruler above his head as if it was a sword” to show violence. Later on it shows that not all countries are as fortunate as us in the way that The Shah was overjoyed that something was actually growing which is an example of the author using vocabulary. The author uses a technique called a metaphor to keep the readers interested. An example of this is when The Shah was playing footy he suddenly curled up like a ball to protect himself thinking that the ball was something other than a ball. Most probably being a bomb. Showing that he has been around bombs before when they go off or seen the devastation of the aftermath of the bomb.…
