The descriptive essay by Christine McLaren introduces the rhetorical device of an allegory. This device is displayed when the narrator says, "With her words, she spins herself a cocoon". The allegory is effective because it makes the statement easy to understand that she is trying to block out the negative things that are happening to her and wraps herself in an illusion by talking about drapes, carpets, castles, and kings.
