Hi There,
We're studying Michael Ondaatje's 'In The Skin Of a Lion' and I can't seem to identify the literary technique in this quote - "The giant centrifugal pumps, more valuable than life".
And also this quote - "Patrick and the others walk silently, remembering the teeth of the animals distinct, that screaming, the feet bound so they wouldn’t slash out and break themselves, lowered forty feet down and remaining there until they died..."
Can anyone please help me with just identifying the literary technique used in these two quotes?
Thanks very much in advance!
