The author also uses alliterative language to punctuate the text. For example, she writes, "I was not simply huge. I was arched, bellied, biconvex, bloated, bold, bombous, bossed, bosselated, bossy, bowed, bulbiform, bulbous..." By writing this way, the author lets us know that in the last stages of her pregnancy, Ari had more than a big stomach, she felt like she was everything there was to describe her state.
