Techniques
The author opens up the image with an allegory by using an event what used to occur with Keller and Henish. Dramatic irony is used through this image when Paul is not aware of Keller’s death. This scene consists mostly of exposition when Henicsh is telling Paul about Keller’s past history life. A simile is used through this image ‘’A smokers face as a smoked face’’(figurative language). Rhetorical questions are used by Paul trying to make Henisch believe that Keller is still alive’’ But if I told you I knew him? That he lived in a hotel, a town called Darwin?’’ Henisch explained Keller’s registration as a metaphor saying’’ He sewed the yellow star to his clothing on his return to Vienna.’’
