This quote uses <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/alliteration/">alliteration</a> (“gurgled,” “grass”), vivid <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/imagery/">imagery</a>, and <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/personification-in-literature-definition-examples/">personification</a> to create sensory imagery with a hint of poetry. The rain “hiccupping” personifies the weather, and the cow’s mooing reinforces Mark’s simple but somber existence. The cows, appearing in the rain, symbolize Mark’s contemplative <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/mood-in-literature-definition-examples/">mood</a> and the rural <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Literary Device" href="https://www.supersummary.com/setting/">setting</a> that shapes his somewhat isolated view of the world.

This quote shows Mark’s struggle with the line between fiction and reality, and his unease with imagining a made-up story involving real historical figures. This is also part of Storytelling as a Means of Understanding the Past. His black-and-white thinking at this stage shows his limited understanding of how fiction can be used to reflect real emotional and historical truths.

This statement shows Mark’s moral framework as it originally exists, in a simple form with black-and-white ways of thinking. He sees Hitler as a figure of pure evil, almost inhuman, and incapable of emotion. Mark’s ideas of <a data-internal-link data-link-type="Symbols & Motifs" href="https://www.supersummary.com/hitler-s-daughter/symbols-and-motifs/#763967">good versus evil</a>, a motif in the novel, and the line between them starts to shift as he hears more of Heidi’s story.
