Reread the conversation between Oskar and his mother at the beginning of the excerpt.
As for the bracelet Mom wore to the funeral, what I did was I converted Dadâs last voice message into Morse code, and I used sky-blue beads for silence, maroon beads for breaks between letters, violet beads for breaks between words, and long and short pieces of string between the beads for long and short beeps, which are actually called blips, I think, or something. Dad would have known. It took me nine hours to make, and I had thought about giving it to Sonny, the homeless person who I sometimes see standing outside the Alliance Française, because he puts me in heavy boots, or maybe to Lindy, the neat old woman who volunteers to give tours at the Museum of Natural History, so I could be something special to her, or even just to someone in a wheelchair. But instead I gave it to Mom. She said it was the best gift sheâd ever received. I asked her if it was better than the Edible Tsunami, from when I was interested in edible meteorological events. She said, âDifferent.â I asked her if she was in love with Ron. She said, âRon is a great person,â which was an answer to a question I didnât ask. So I asked again. âTrue or false: you are in love with Ron.â She put her hand with the ring on it in her hair and said, âOskar, Ron is my friend.â . . . I wanted to tell her she shouldnât be playing Scrabble yet. Or looking in the mirror. Or turning the stereo any louder than what you needed just to hear it. It wasnât fair to Dad, and it wasnât fair to me. But I buried it all inside me. I made her other Morse code jewelry with Dadâs messagesâa necklace, an anklet, some dangly earrings, a tiaraâbut the bracelet was definitely the most beautiful, probably because it was the last, which made it the most precious. âMom?â âYes?â âNothing.â

Why does the author's description of the mercury boilerâ"the mercury, when vaporized, going into a mercury turbine and then into a condenser, remaining hot enough to generate steam in a steam boiler"âintentionally incorporate such highly technical language? using technical language establishes the expertise of the writer and convey the complex nature of the process being described. using technical language allows the writer to subtly poke fun at those who seek to make basic processes seem overly complicated. using technical language encourages readers to develop deeper and more meaningful personal connections to the information. using technical language lets the writer make clear to readers that the article is intended for readers who are themselves experts on electricity.
