The second quote is "I've changed since I ran off the Carving and left the decoys to die. I've changed because of everything I've seen since then, and because of Cassia (Pg79)".

She is correct in her suspicion because even foes pretend to be allies, so that they can have an advantage over their opponents, as their pretences are difficult to detect. The theme of betrayal, a theme made evident in the quote, is also present in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. The quote by Nicole Richie is correct because foes may appear as allies to gain an advantage, which is shown throughout the scenes of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.…

    Writing the sounds Malala Yousafzai heard whilst she was shot is really interesting. You can take this quote in many ways. First, she could have written it this way because she relives it when she writes. Repeating the same sound over and over represents someone being affected by a traumatic experience. Second, she is explaining that instead of thinking of her death, her body was trying to find ways to avoid shock. It’s similar to when you have a panic attack, you try and focus on one object to calm you down. So when she wrote this, she wanted the reader to imagine the butcher’s chopping rather than the gun shot because it’s what she did. Third, she wants the reader to know she was conscious then she was shot but not fully aware. Either way,…
