Tonight, we discussed pages 134-170 of Solito by Javier Zamora.

Our conversation centered on the following:

Javier Zamora writes prose like a poet and makes great use of figurative language. Merriam-Webster defines figurative language as “words or phrases that are meaningful but not literally true.” Figurative language adds artistry to text and often expands the reader’s understanding or appreciation of what’s written. Where do you see Zamora using figurative language on pages 134-170 or elsewhere in the book? Point out specific examples.

Our Life Writers in attendance came up with great instances of figurative language in the text. Can you identify any additional ones?
