Repetition, rhyme, metaphors, similes, etc all affect the way a poem is delivered. The more relatable or engaging a poem is, the more impact is has on readers. Being short and direct also allows a poem to be more eye-catching, being quick and easy to read. Large words allow the poem to seem professional or intellectual, while simple, small words make the poem easier to read.
I would say that The Uri was really a woman´s ceremony, and the main figures were the bride and her mother. This is because the ceremony is planned for the man to see if that woman would be suitable. It was a meeting to decide which was the price of a marriageable bride. Her "mother is expected to prepare food for the whole village with the help of other women."
I'm not familiar with the book but the conflict is usually a fairly easy thing for me to find (I know some struggle with it) what you should do is summarize what you've read. Take that summery and think "alright, the character is facing an issue with_______" (his conscience, another character, society, or nature) and once you summarize it, the rest should be fairly simple. Hopefully this helps.
