In the novel this quote “I pop the head off the Barbie doll…… I place a piece of tape over the Barbie’s mouth.”(63) was an example of figurative languages. The figurative languages was a metaphor. Though Melinda the main character did not make the connection about her and the doll by her doing those stuff to the doll shows the reader that, that 's how she feels about herself and her ability to speak (communicate). It communicates a feeling better then it would if the metaphor was just written plain out saying that she hates herself and feels like her silents controls her.
