Explanation:
Caesura: (a pause or break mid line) “They worked too hard - you can tell by their hands.”
This creates a sense of sophistication and the seriousness that immigrants face when in a place they aren’t familiar with.
Enjambment: (where a sentence carries on over the line) “And they thought to themselves for a split second
was it worth it to put all of our money
into a dream country that is swallowing us whole”
The enjambment emphasises the perpetuation (continuation) of hard efforts, that consistently go to waste. “dream country that is swallowing us whole.” infers the romanticised views of so-called ‘dream’ countries/places only reveal the true, terror filled side to the places, which turn out to be eating away at them.
Hope this is of some use :)
