Long Answer

1. Soto uses similes and metaphors throughout the novel, mainly to describe his surroundings and observations of the setting, such as the heat of the city, his apartment, and the people he encounters. Students’ examples should use “like/as” for similes and focus on Soto’s comparisons to the outside world (Various chapters).

2. The novel is written in a first-person narration style, with Eddie as the narrator. This style of writing develops a more personal relationship between Eddie and the reader, since the latter has insight into Eddie’s thoughts, opinions and observations of his life in Fresno (Various chapters).
