Quote 1- "Each one tensed to fire off a woman's heart on a different path to glory or damnation."

Devices: Synecdoche, metaphor, and antithesis

Analysis: In the beginning, the girls are referred to as "one" which can be thought of as a synecdoche, because one does not directly refer to children. After that it says, "Fire off a woman's heart," which could be a metaphor for a gun, and brings up the idea of being unstable. Lastly, an antithesis is shown between the words," glory or damnation."

Quote 2- "A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps."

Analysis: This quote illustrates personification by describing the seedlings arching their necks. It also shows antithesis by the contrasting idea of the dead rotten log and the new healthy seedlings. Finally, the quote shows assonance through the repetition of the vowel "o" at the end of the quote.

Quote 1: "A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps"
Devices: Assonance, Antithesis, Metaphor
Analysis: The seedlings are compared metaphorically to a choir. The choir suggests that the seedlings seem lively. The contrasting ideas of life and death being the seedlings and rotted tree stumps show the extremes within the jungle.

Quote 2: "While the rear one sweeps the ground in a rhythmic limp."
Devices: Antithesis, Metaphor, Synecdoche
When the author uses this metaphor, "...sweeps the ground...", they aren't actually sweeping the ground just moving across of it.
The author uses the term "rhythmic limp" it indicates that is indeed and antithesis because it is composed of two contrasting because a limp isn't a very rhythmic action. In the final snippet, "...Rear one sweeps the ground...", it is a synecdoche because is uses one thing to represent something else.
