1. metaphor -  Singapore is described as a 'blank desert'  and a  'distant land'
2. diction - 'wandering' in 'wandering the blank dessert' implies no sense of purpose and direction, no sense of hope
3. simile

# data[].attributes.body
firstly, the use of repetition in "come see how i live" and "come see where i am". it emphasizes that words cant explain how terrible the living conditions are and that you have to see it to believe it. Using repetition is a very strong way to convey how impossible it feels to live there.

secondly, the hyperbole of "a thousand wails". its practically impossible to be able to cry and wail so much, but in this situation it really paints out what the speaker wants to do, this exaggeration really brings out his true feelings.

next, the auditory imagery of "call me khoka". it reminds the readers of their own mothers calling them by their nickname, like how a Chinese mother would call her son ah boy. this imagery is enough to bring back lots of nostalgia for everyone

Imagery (?) : “bottomless heat” in “In the bottomless heat of this distant land”
- This suggests that Singapore weather is so much hotter than Bangladesh that those from Bangladesh would find the heat endless.
Simile : “call from you like a swallow”
- As swallows usually represent good luck, safe travels, happiness and positivity, this could suggest that hearing his mother call out to him just once could fix all his suffering and give him peace again.
Metaphor : “blank desert” in “Wandering the blank desert”
- Though one might think “blank desert” as a literal empty boring place, it could also be referring to life, the bleak and unsurprising life. It's so blank that it was like a desert, finding an oasis is like finding happiness or fun - an extremely rare occurrence.
Imagery (Auditory) : “wails by the thousands”
- This suggests that not one or two, but thousands of foreign workers are suffering under the same torture, and they are crying out and begging for a better life, and they are living among each other and they all have such a strong desire to leave that they are wailing.
