A metaphor has been used in the phrase “an odd museum of ideas” to bring about the effect of strange odd things being put together in one place. An exceptionally long sentence from “Open our skulls” to “live with” highlights the large number of thoughts and pieces of information jumbled up in their head. In the phrase “things that drop into your mind, like lizards from the ceiling” a simile is used to bring out the nature of the thoughts in this persons head, perhaps how they drop into their mind spontaneously. The repetition of the prefix “half-” emphasises the initial idea of incompletion and “half-baked minds”. Finally the use of listing brings out the various places from which their thoughts and ideas have come from.

Arushi’s work
Metaphor: “you'll find an odd museum of ideas”. Here, the author compares his brain to a museum to describe his thoughts.
Repetition: “in the half hour before falling asleep -- all these ideas, half formed and half-digested and half correct, mix up with other half-cooked ideas in your head” Here the prefix ‘half is repeated to create stronger rythm and re-enforce the author's meaning.
Metaphor: “in the half hour before falling asleep -- all these ideas, half formed and half-digested and half correct, mix up with other half-cooked ideas in your head” here, the brain’s ideas are compared to food or a dish being made, but the ideas are only ‘half-cooked’.
Simile: Like lizards from the ceiling. this is a simile that compares the author's ideas to a lizard dropping from the ceiling.

Firstly, in the lines “Open our skulls, look in with a penlight”, there is a metaphor for if you were to see inside the contents of their brains, however not literally open their skulls and look in with a penlight. Next, there is figure of speech in the words “which every tea shop in this country uses to wrap its snacks in”. Using hyperbolical language, the writer is trying to explain that many people did not care for the textbooks but instead wrapped their snacks around it. Thirdly, “like lizards from the ceiling,” uses a simile to show how suddenly and effortlessly things you learnt when you were younger could drop into your mind. The slightly longer quote, “all these ideas, half formed and half-digested and half correct, mix up with other half-cooked ideas in your head, and I guess these half-formed ideas 🤬 one another, and make more half-formed ideas,” uses the repetition of the word “half” to reiterate how broken her memories of knowledge are, and how they together connect dots and slowly, the writer begins to remember.
