The last sentence of paragraph 10, "When each of them has a pair of jeans, they are off like birds on the wing." uses metaphors. First, jeans symbolize urbanization and globalization. Comparing young people to birds on the wing, the vivid image directly and concretely describes the shackling of young people in rural areas and the pursuit of freedom under urbanization.

This article uses a virtual statement that really appeals to me,the sentence like “if I were to put on a pair of trousers like they do now，lightning would strike me.”This sentence reflects the author's wife's feudal ideology, and vividly shows that she is well adapted to the traditional rural life.The article also uses many other rhetorical devices, such as similes and metaphors and emphatic sentences, among which this sentence impresses me the most, "My eyes do see." These are the words of the husband, showing that he has seen all the things that have happened over the years, and showing the wife's deep love for her husband from the side.

The answer of the farmer's wife impressed me most. In the article, according to a verbal response of his wife, many changes have taken place, such as "villagers could barter for things, but now it's all crash." Additionally, "The young people go away to towns leaving old people to work on the land." From her description, these changes bothered her, we can think over the reasons and understand the author'ｓinvention. Meanwhile, we also can understand some social problems and face optimistically.

"The sun in the sky up, flowers for me laugh" this sentence also uses personification.For flowers can't smlie at people. This suggests the author's good mood.The young people go away to towns leaving old people to work on the land".From her description ，these changes bother her,we can think over the reasons and understand the author'ｓinvention.Meanwhile,we also can understand some social problems and face optimistically.
