1. "When the doctor comes into the waiting room,
his face has the look of death.
There isn't even a hint of a smile" (Fehler 35).

This adds a lot to the story because Luke's eye might never be alright agian and he wouldn't be able to play baseball because he can't see, so it would affect the rest of the book.

1) Until then, most of us hadn't thought much about casualties. it was as if they were just numbers in a history book. not real people. we were all going to live forever. Right? (Fehler 49)

2) This is a good example of personification. People like Andy says that people have forgotten them so much that they are just like numbers in a history book.

!) "It was in the low forties today. Brrr. I like it hot. Sweat dripping down. My right arm as loose as an old sock" (Fehler 6).

2) This is a good simile. This line from page 6 doesn't really add much to the story overall because it really just doesn't apply to anything besides this scene particularly. The way that the  simile adds to the scene is showing that the pitcher likes it when his arm is able to be loose so he can pitch better, but it is colder outside so he can't get as loose as he wants to.
