One thing I noticed about how the author tells the story is her inclusion of vivid metaphors. I think well-written metaphors add a lot to a story and help the reader better understand and imagine what they are reading. The metaphor that stuck out to me the most was the one about how “the revolution is like a bicycle when the wheels don’t turn it falls”. I thought this was extremely powerful due to the emotion it carries behind it. I thought it was a great way to connect the story to the narrator, a child who wants better for her country.
