This is a quote from "Life of Pi" and I'm trying to figure out what kind of literary device it is, "My Roman soldier stood in th

e schoolyard one morning when I was twelve... He saw me and a flash of evil genius lit up his dull mind. He raised his arm, pointed at me and shouted, 'It's P*ssing Patel!'... I walked in last, wearing my crown of thorns". I'm thinking it's a metaphor but I'm not too sure. Can you also explain what kind of impact this quote would have on a reader (connection and empathy, make the abstract concrete, motivate the reader to act, feel or experience etc.)? Thank you!

a_sh-v [17]

This story describes the relationship between a father and his son. He is a caring, loving father: he calls his son "Schatz", which means, "my treasure", and is concerned about his health. He spends time with his son, reading aloud to him and giving him his medicine.

The family's home is in the country, and the father is a hunter. He does not express joy at killing the birds, or does he show greed; he probably hunts the quail for food, as he is glad that many birds remain alive for him to find another day.

The boy dramatizes his illness. The doctor has taken the boy's temperature and does not find it to be a cause for alarm. However, the boy firmly believes that his temperature is more than deadly, and he thinks that he is therefore doomed to die. This is an intercultural issue, as the French measure temperature by centigrades, where as Americans measure it by Farenheit degrees. Hence the confusion.
