The emotional language used in her memories shows a direct contrast to her current situation, as well as the reasons why she left home. The use of personification, in texts such as "the sea roared like an angry beast", emphasizes emotive language, used to describe felt estrangement. The language is so eloquent, evoking such vivid and engaging images of Ziba's emotions, especially as she feels the ups and downs of the unforgiving ocean. Through figurative and evaluative language, Ziba is able to describe his past and present feelings and memories. The close connection between sensory experiences and memory is sophisticated and clear, making the text simple and resonant. The author uses similes such as "thoughts of home wash over Ziba like the sea breaking over the bridge", connecting the past and present, creating feelings of loneliness, while reflecting on his once peaceful home. The effective use of noun phrases - children's laughter, fresh mountain air, rich spices of the evening meal - as well as a number of sensory verbs - thought, felt and smelled - help and connect the reader to the thoughts of Ziba. In addition, the use of repetition in the first and last pages of the text emphasizes the unstable state of their emotions, the uncertainty about what to do.
