Desert storm in mind.
In reading poetry, Desert Storm, I am really attracted to poetry. This expression of emotion through landscape, vivid performance of complex mental activities of the heart. Description of the details and records, people with personal experience, his mind will surface in a poem describing the scene. For example: Between the rows of block captain barracks the block captain galloped by. This kind of detailed description, highlighting the image of the entity to give readers the feeling of this immersive visual experience.
But behind the exaggerated expressions, people with imagination, such as: Hundreds of windows slammed shut. This exaggerated Desert Storm in order to highlight the enormous impact. Hyperbole here, just right before the description of details with contrast.
At here the word "This" means a state but not a thing or an entity. like the feeling of the desert strom for the immigrant. Like the impact from the local culture to the culture of thier own which they had it from their mother land. As migrants, their status of being despised, their culture has been contradictory, and their behavior was not understood, they are not respected by others, not social status. This is undoubtedly like a desert storm, dry, dirty, the rushing irresistible.
She use the line breaks in this way is working for the role of emphasized.

Like butterflies before the butterfly will go through a physical transformation, although this is painful, long, but there are subjective choice.Thus, the author's attitude is positive rather than negative, which is a kind of face the tribulations, instead of complaining, fear, hatred.
Anthony II: I think it was Jessica who wrote, on her blog, that the way Yamada uses line breaks in "Desert Storm" emphasizes the root words "prison" and "location." I really like your analysis of this poem and how it uses hyperbole, line breaks, and images to evoke a scene. The "twister" (8) is a force that breaks through the roughshod barracks, which were not built for desert conditions, even when the internees stuff "newspapers and rags" (16) between the cracks.
