figurative language:

Quote:
"We can't last on the run much longer. I say screw the mission. Let them blow up the world. We can find a place to hide out where no one can find us, and we can just. . . live." (36). This is significant to the book because it basically describes the whole story of each book in the series. This is a group of humans that have been genetically engineered to have wings so they can fly. They are constantly on the run and have a mission to save the world. They are getting tired of running (as said in the quote) and want to forget about everything and just live someplace safe.

Emerging theme:
One emerging theme in the book is the constant struggle with the people trying to get rid of the hybrid bird human kids.
