"Mom and Dad found another small town that caught thier eye. Then we'd circle around, looking for houses with for-rent signs."(20)- This is imagery because they make people sound like birds with a bird's eye view and circling around. The reader can picture them as birds.

"thier faces wrinkled and brown form the sun, like dried up apples."(20)- this is a simile because it compares peoples' faces to dried up apples.

"the gun kicked and the bottle exploded."(21)- this is personification because it gives the gun the ability to kick.

"mom and Dad did most of our teaching."- This quoute is significant because it supports the theme of being able to be self sufficient.

A continued theme is the power/ trait of be able to take care of youself and make do with what you've got.
