This quote imbues the device of emotive language because it has exclamation marks in it. This quote also showed the dire living conditions which the prisoners were subject to. The very fact that they were excited about a bed, with sheets and pillows showed that they did not have these simple luxuries in the prisoner camp. This showed the shocking amount of dehumanization which the prisoners were subject to, as they were not even able to sleep on a bed, with sheets and pillows. They also mentioned that they rested and got back their strength. This is a good example of showing that the prisoners were used to being whipped, and that resting for simply one day was a sheer novelty for them. Life was obviously very hard for the prisoners of war in the concentration camps.

This quotation highlights William Kamkwamba's deep worry and determination. In Malawi, where opportunities are limited and poverty common, William shares his deepest fear: that he would live an empty life similar to that of his father, a hard-working farmer. William's strong desire to break out from the cycle of poverty and his commitment to choose a better route are perfectly captured in this quotation. It is a powerful symbol of his continuous quest for success over hardship, figure out how to live, and eventually have a beneficial influence on the world and his community.

 The power of the emperor is conveyed in this quote through descriptions of the “imposing, grey wall” surrounding the city, “emblazoned with a dedication to the Red Emperor.” The use of the word “imposing” suggests that the wall is impenetrable, well built and formidable. Furthermore, the word “emblazoned” shows how much importance is given to the emperor by showing how embellished his dedication is. 

Very easy to do illegal crimes and get away with it is shown in the quote “Plastic, because plastic can be turned into cash.” This phrase suggests that Raphael is searching for needed objects and plastic is a main one to find. I believe that Raphael knows how to fraud money, I think this because when he said “plastic can be turned into cash.” He wouldn't be able to go to a shop and give plastic to get it made or he will get caught. So I believe he can make it. He needs the money since they are not wealthy and he needs to supply goods for himself and others.

The passage describes a structure in the midst of the slums, offering a view of the surroundings. It stands above other structures, providing a panorama of sea rust, green landscapes, and metal structures. The structure also encircles the smoggy Manila skyline.

This quote communicates and expresses the picture of a dusty, dry, hazy setting hot in the summer. The comparison of the sun to a "branding iron searing the back of your neck" connotes heat and dryness, giving audiences a visual picture of a hot dry area where rain and water is scarce. This signals to audiences that as the "creeks where Hassan and I skipped stones all spring turned dry," there is a sense of foreboding and apprehensiveness as the weather changes. It symbolizes the main character Amir's melancholy as his relationship with Hassan "turns dry" just like the creek they used to play by. This phrase tells us that everything between them changes as Amir begins to disassociate himself with Hassan because of his regrets of not standing up for him, and that their relationship was different back in spring.
