Excellent answer, you demonstrated your understanding of the text perfectly and your use of vocabulary is astounding. One thing, don't assume something "could be an approach" - state that it IS. Go with your instinct on it, it's usually right, which it is in this case. Be convincing!!

The author in “Night” uses different language devices to enhance the story. He uses the metaphor “A growth, my mother said, the size of a turkey’s egg.” This shows how big the tumor inside of her is. Since turkey eggs are much larger than most normal eggs, she is saying that her tumor is much bigger than a normal tumor.

Later in the story the author says,” My troubles returned with the night, of course. The demons got hold of me again.” This could be a approach towards personification in two ways Firstly, demons are not people and since they “got hold” of her they are performing a human action. Secondly, she says that her troubles returned with the night, which is not actually possible since “troubles” is a thought. This sentence is used also as a metaphor, to demonstrate how her troubles are bad since they are being compared to demons.

The author shows uses language devices to point out many different things in the story and to augment the story’s meaning.

In this passage, the writer employs a number of techniques to present herself as a girl who has negative  thoughts. For example, the writer used a metaphor to create an image for the reader. "I fell into my pillow" , this short phrase demonstrates that she's very tired due to the deep negative thoughts in her mind. In my opinion, this emphasizes that her sleep is distracted by her negative thoughts so she wants to go to sleep as early as possible. Furthermore, this was also a descriptive technique which helps make the image clearer. Also, irony was used to illustrate and create a contrast which allows the reader to understand how dramatic it is. "an adventure," this short phrase implies that it is not an adventure because all about pain and seriousness. The effect of that indicates child wonder. She also foreshadows  that something bad is going to happen which contrasts "adventure". "until suffocation", this word foreshadows something bad and implies that she is aware of the idea to cause harm to her sister which isn't an "adventure". (sarah)

Alice Munro in line 57 states that she her sickness was used as an excuse to not do any chores around the house this is shown using the metaphor “it seems that the mysterious turkey egg must have given me...visitor.” Munro here uses the “turkey egg” to symbolise her sickness, and how it made her almost ‘lucky’ to not do any chores. This shows the reader the condition that alice is in, as it creates an image in the reader’s mind that Alice’s medical condition is very bad, that she is incapable of doing chores. Which is why she calls herself a “visitor” here she compares herself to visitors, and how it is frowned for a visitor to do chores. She says that the “turkey egg must have given me some invalid status” she says this to make it clear to the reader that she doesn’t have any reasons to not be doing chores other than her sickness. She uses the smile “Wandering about like a visitor” to shows us that without chores she has lots of free time, this also shows that she is almost bored without any chores that she is “wandering about”. Overall the language techniques she uses show us a very clear image of her summer and how she spent it. She used metaphors and smiles to help create this image in the reader’s minds. (Salma)

OOOH!! DEEP! Yes, I don't think there's a true contemplation of murder, I think he understands sibling rivalry and how it can lead to troubling thoughts, the fact that the speaker is free to roam the house helps her to alleviate these thoughts and feelings in a way that will not post a threat to anyone

# data[].attributes.body
It is hard to sympathize with a person that had admitted they had contemplated murder. Perhaps the reason he is so nonchalant about it is because he has also had such thoughts in the past, or had been exposed to things that had caused him to be more wise(?) and understanding of people who do have such thoughts.
