The description about a living condition of the migrants is extremely detailed. As a result‚ the clear illustration helps the reader to advance the comprehension and the sympathy for the immigrants. At the same time‚ Boyle indirectly reveals the attitude of the former citizen towards the newcomers through the perspective of the main character‚ Delaney Mossbacher.
