on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry
tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us
like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had
chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being
treated as if it were our fault.

passage?
o
a. the use of figurative language creates a feeling of resentment.
o
b. the parallelism draws attention to the confusion of those
returning.
o
