1. The novel is written in a first-person narration style from the perspective of the narrator, Miguel. As a result, the reader experiences the challenges facing migrants first-hand through one migrant’s point of view. (Various chapters)

2. The bad omens that Miguel references include these: rats at the bus station; dogs waiting for the train; and the scorpion in the desert. (Chapters 16, 18, 29)
