Manny Week Four: Snippets

On page 196 in the last panel, in the text, it says "I saw red" and judging by Marjane's eyebrows and the steam coming out of her nose, she is angry as a bull. The reason being that bulls are the only animals that get angry by looking at the color red. This panel uses one of our examinable literature terms and that term is Metaphor. 

Also, looking at Marjane and the way the steam is formed, the steam covers her mouth. That means when you are angry, you have no control over what you are saying.

This panel is important because this is the last panel before a major turning point in the book. The major turning point is when Marjane yell at the girls at the booth saying that she is an Iranian and she is proud and she finally understands what her grandmother was saying.
