the first person point of

of the characters. This can
be seen when the narrator
uses
the pronoun "I, me, my and mine'"
to represent the
characters in the novel.

3. This novel uses proper and
improper grammar in its
dialogue and monologue between
the characters. The
author uses this kind of
grammar because the
characters
in the story (especially the
mothers) are Chinese
immigrant.
For example
- "You can be best anything.... Her
daughter, she is only best tricky."
(page 132)
- "Ni kan.." (page 132)

4. LITERARY DEVICES
Hyperbole: Outrageous
exaggeration
e.g "I was Cinderella
stepping from her pumpkin
carriage with sparkly
cartoon music filling the
air."
Symbolism: A word that has a
meaning on its own but used
to represent something
else.
e.g The 'feather'
symbolises best wishes and
hope for a better life for
her family especially her
daughters.
