Stylistic devices and expressive means

Truth be told, the author is really a unique person and, without a doubt, she has her own unique style. She represents it in the story with the help of different expressive means and stylistic devices. 

To say that there are a lot of them is to say nothing. Every sentence is soaked with these elements to share the right message. 

I am sure, it is necessary to mention about the symbol in the title of the story. The colour. It is yellow. And while reading psychological articles we can easily find that the yellow wavelength is relatively long and essentially stimulating. In this case the stimulus is emotional, therefore yellow is the strongest colour, psychologically. The right yellow will lift our spirits and our self-esteem; it is the colour of confidence and optimism. Too much of it, or the wrong tone in relation to the other tones in a colour scheme, can cause self-esteem to plummet, giving rise to fear and anxiety. Our "yellow streak" can surface. I suppose that the negative side of this medal suits to our case.

In general, I would like to say that we can find everything in this story: epithets, metaphors, similes, alliteration and even emphatic construction, but I will cyte them in my written analysis.
