The writer uses language to delineate Rosabel’s bus journey as uncomfortable. This is highlighted through the quote “there was a sickening smell of warm humanity”. The use of the adjective “sickening” reveals something that is disgusting and repulsive; it could also depict physical nausea due to a revolting smell, which shows a visceral reaction therefore highlighting her physical discomfort and emotional distress as she navigates the crowded bus. The noun “smell” is a sense, and it is mainly linked to its organ, which is the nose. This organ is responsible for detecting all scents and odors. The use of the metaphorical word symbolizes how Rosabel feels about other people and the upper class. Alternatively, it exposes her personal impression of herself and how she thinks that the lower-class are dirty and multifaceted. The phrase “warm humanity” depicts the false pity and kindness shown by people. It also highlights how not all people express their true feelings. People are two faced and cannot be easily trusted. In the real world, this highlights how people can manipulate each other for their own benefit through dehumanization. The writer also uses language to reveal alienation and fatigue through the quote “one meaningless, staring face”. This is referring to a row of people which evokes a continuous thought in the reader about the lives of the people on the bus which suggests that they have had a worse life than the character Rosabel which is shown in the adjective “meaningless” which has connotations of something absurd, idle and incoherent. It could also show how Rosabel feels that her life is pointless and unimportant and the people on the bus might also feel the same way, but it is noticeable through their facial expressions as it ends with their “staring face” which symbolizes their plight, revealing their dull and monotonous life. In the real world, this shows that the situation that people are in could be highlighted through their expressions and patterns.
