Chapter 1
Explanation and Analysis—Petal Lips:
Lily smells Rosaleen enter a room in T. Ray’s house, enjoying the familiar, spicy scent of the snuff that she always carries.Kidd foreshadowing and a simile to show how Lily senses Rosaleen’s presence before the other woman even speaks.
When she stepped in the room, her scent floated out to me, dark and spicy like the snuff she packed inside her cheek. She held her small jug with its coin-size mouth and a handle for her to loop her finger through. I watched her press it along her chin, her lips fluted out like a flower, then spit a curl of black juice inside it.
