To escape the trackers for a while, Kino and Juana hid...

• in bushes.

• by a water hole.

• in a cave.

What figurative language was being used here: As the water gave life, it also took life as the lager animals didn’t just come to drink, they also came to hunt the smaller animals that also came to drink.

• Simile - Steinbeck is comparing animals that hunt at the water to Juana and Kino being hunted by the trackers.

• Symbolism - Steinbeck is saying that Kino has become like an animal.

• Personification - Steinbeck is saying that the water has a life of it's own.
