5. How does the author's language in
paragraph 9 contribute to the
description of the family's house? for the story ‘Home’ by Gwendolyn Brooks

In paragraph 9, it can be deduced that figurative words are used to describe the house.

According to the story, it was stated that the house they lived in was very old with an iron fence. They had poplar trees and ferns near the door. The house had rocking chairs where Helen slowly rocked.

The statement that "he lives for this house'' is a literary device as it's an exaggeration. The birds were mechanical birds no better than the poor caught in canaries. The figurative words used were important in order to make the readers understand the message that's being passed.
