- "Shingled one- and two-room houses clung to the rocks like oysters."
</span><span>- "The chopping block that a man was using to cut his wood."
</span><span>- "In front of nearly all of them sat a dory or two, some flipped over"

In the excerpts from Mark Memmott's "Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre'" and Julia Alvarez's "A Genetics of Justice," both authors allude to the dictator Trujillo's cunning, fraudulence, and cruelty. Memmott speaks of the massacre of 20,000 Haitians, which largely went unseen. Concurrently, Alvarez describes how her parents and other Dominican exiles returned to their homeland misled by Trujillo, allowing his regime to take their American currency.
Rhyme and rhythm. The author incorporated these two sound elements to accentuate the musicality of the poem. The rhyme pattern follows an alternating structure (abab cdcd efef). While the rhyme may not be flawless, the intention to create rhyme is evident. Similarly, the rhythm can be discerned, although not perfect, as each line typically consists of 8 syllables, with a few at 7. This uniformity of syllables contributes to a consistent beat when reading the lines.
The preferred style in writing is passive voice.
