Any pieces of figurative language in this excerpt? (from the book thief pages 346-350) “i’ll never forget that day in auschwitz, the first time in mauthausen. at that second place, as time wore on, i also picked them up from the bottom of the great cliff, when their escapes fell awfully awry. there were broken bodies and dead, sweet hearts. still, it was better than the gas. some of them i caught when they were only half-way down. i shiver when i remember-as i try to de-realize it. i blown warm air into my hands, to heat them up. but it’s hard to keep them warm when the souls still shiver. god. i always say that name when i think of it. god. twice, i speak it. believe me when i tell you that i picked up each.”

the souls still shiver is figurative because souls dont physically shiver

- "a nonrestrictive clause functions as a modifier to a noun (that is an object, person or concept). these clauses can be described by the following three options: it is set off by comas, it contains a subject and a verbs and it adds nonessential information to the sentence.

for example, in "here is bill gates, who confounded microsoft software company" we can identify "who confounded microsoft software company" as a nonrestrictive clause modifying the noun bill gates. this clause can be describes as a nonrestrictive clause because it is separated by a comma, it adds nonessential information to identify who bill gates is and it must contain both a subject (who) and a verb (confounded)."
