CHIEN ZI

BY

Simile
like an enormous Pterodactyl or Archaeopteryx page 179 as fast as her legs can carry her page 182

Metaphor
golden voice page 193 not worth the candle" page 197 you're on the carpet" page 198

face the music alone" page 198

Shows how "helpful" Haroun's friends are, "ditching" him in a tensed situation. Adds to tension and suspense.

Rhyme
chatter and natter page 184
Batcheats song, pages 186-187

LITERARY DEVICES
CHIEN ZI

BY

Alliteration
driving us all to drink page 186 (also can be a pun) shrouds of silence page 188

buckle and bend page 189

shadowless servants page 189

Oxymoron
enormous (but now harmless) page 183 ancient tales could be fresh and new once more page 192 not worth the candle, include me out. No can do" page 197 Paradox creates suspense, readers would want to read more to find out Haroun's fate/ destiny. Readers start to feel the desperate situation Haroun is in, get anxious for him.

LITERARY DEVICES
KLAUS TAN

BY

Hyperbole
Bolos outburst, page 181

Foreshadowing
a little, heavy, rectangular box out of which protruded a short burning fuse page 182 maybe you have been away for too long. Things change" page 210 A hint that Soraya has returned. Foreboding of big celebration to come. Story's mood is tuning from very happy to extremely happy.

Rhetorical
"I promise. Mr Sengupta is khattam-shud" page 210 Is he khattam-shud (finished) or khattam-shud (himself)? Readers are left hanging in mystery as reading this this rhetorical statement.
