To find the phrase that shows how much life and Elizabeth and James were unpleasant while they lived in the east, you will need to find the phrase that shows something negative that Elizaneth and James had to face while they were in the east. Furthermore, this phrase may show that nothing could free James and Elizabeth from this negative element, except a move to another region. This negative element can be presented by a narrator, or by James, or by Elizabeth. The important thing is that the phrase is able to show how much they were harmed by living in this region.

An aside is something that is not the main part of the discussion. In this sentence, the main point is that Mustufa ran the sprint races. The extra information is that he trained for the mid-distance race.
