(Chapter 1) " 'It would be better' father said once, 'if it were simply erased from all the history books. As though he had never existed.' " This is an example of an hyperbole because that couldn't happen.

(Chapter 4) " I was born with a 'hat on' and anyone born with a 'hat on' was supposed to have good luck. What that really meant, mother said, was that some babies were born with part of the sac that enclosed them in the womb still over their heads." This is an example on an idiom. I know because it has a meaning but the "hat on" is not literal.

(Chapter 5) "Pan Gryn jumped up like a man with a snake in his pants and looked like he were going to brain me." This is an example of a simile because it compares him to a snake and a man who were "going to brain" while using the word like.

(Chapter 4)" I took my life in my hands" This is an example of a hyperbole because it is not literal.

This is a clip from the Island on Bird Street movie.

This clip relates to the selection chapter because in the clip, you see Alex running for a broken down building, which he does when the selection is taking place.
