How does Ann Brashares use imagery in Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood?

Imagery:

"I'm telling you, they're gross. If they were good, wouldn't we all be eating them instead of buying apples from the bin at the A&P?"

"She's miserable about Bapi. She's miserable that she's in the States living with us. She hates my dad for making her come. She hates everything about this country. She wishes she were in her own home surrounded by her friends. She is furious at everybody, can't you tell?"
