Answer:

In "Once Upon a Time." For example, she writes, "my windowpanes are thin as rime, could shatter like a wineglass." In this example, she uses a simile comparing her windowpanes to rime, or the frost that forms on surfaces, to convey how thin her windows are. Later, she writes, using personification, "the arrhythmia of my heart was fleeing, knocking this way and that against its body-cage." In this example, the author compares her irregular heartbeat to a creature who's trying to escape from its cage.

Explanation: These are some literary devices that she uses

Answer: Gordimer´s political beliefs are reflected in this story in a way that she puts her view with the device os negatie dialects. For example: “art is the negative knowledge of the actual world” (“Reconciliation Under Duress” ). Rather, art explores what is not known and as Adorno explains, “art does not become knowledge with reference to mere immediate reality” . Throughout her novels, Gordimer avoids references to the “immediate reality.” As Ettin explains, we never get a full picture of the plot and instead the reader must orient himself by  considering what has not been said. As Gordimer draws on the theories of Adorno, she portrays  the strong appeal of this German, Jewish theorist, further distancing herself from the genre of black authors and redefining the objective of a political novel.

The theme which is best reinforced by the given excerpt is that women generally felt detached from each other because of the societal roles thrust upon them. This can be seen especially from the sentence in the passage which states that, ' we live close together and we live far apart'. 'Live apart' in this sentence implies that there is no real close relationship among the women even though they are neighbors[ live together].
