There are many figurative languages in the story; for example the main female character's name is Luz that sounds like "lose" in english and has spanish translation as "light", which is forshadowing the further events to happen. As we already discussed, her name gives a hint of what is gong to happen with the relationship between Luz and protagonist. Eventually they will end up seperatly no matter how strong their love seemed to be. The protagonist loses her after he goes to States to earn some money. Also, I have my own guess to the meaning of her name in spanish, as we assumed that the main male character is alcoholic, I think Luz brought the "light" to his life. She saves his life both as nurse and as woman; regarding the setting she is his reliance through all the difficulties. While he was away fighting, she wrote letters supporting him and giving a reason to live. Nonetheless, he "loses" that "light" which causes him to end up very badly.
