How does Martha Beck use imagery in Expecting Adam: A True Story of Birth, Rebirth, and Everyday Magic?

Examples of Imagery:

"He looked back at me with steady eyes, and I knew what I had known—what I should have remembered—all the time: that his flesh of my flesh had a soul I could barely comprehend, that he was sorry for the pain I felt as I tried to turn him into a 'normal' child, and that he loved me despite my many disabilities"

"Then I hung up the telephone, that terrible, terrible instrument of destruction. The phone just sat there, as if it hadn't done anything bad at all"
