Imagery and Mood

"Goes through life inside a bottle" (pg 223).  Here, the Controller was describing life as a bottle.  He was stating that Alphas bottles seem to be enormous.  This is an example of imagery. 

"You can't send me.  I haven't done anything.  It was the others.  I swear it was the others" (pg 226).  Bernard said this when he was recieving his punishment.  The controller told them that they would be sent to an island.  Before this Bernard was very quiet.  However, his mood changed very quickly, and he became terrified and started blaming others.  This seems like the typical Bernard.  He will do whatever it is to make himself look good, and to keep himself out of trouble.
