Pasha's behavior during the trial of red rose counterparts
After Pasha, his family and friends gather to witness the trial of the "red rose" gang, the imagery of his actions becomes prevalent after some of the accused people begin to openly appeal to the queen calling her the mother of all of the nation. His relative disgust with some of the accused becomes evident through his actions: "I roll up my sleeves with quick, efficient jerks, then press my clenched fists to my mouth as I watch their faces on television."
Golesorkhi's description
The narrator's relatively vivid description of Golesorkhi, the leader of the group, also called the "red rose" enhances the creation of mental images in the mind of the reader. Not only is the leader perceived as brave and courageous but also as a "likable" young person: "Golesorkhi, the group’s leader, is the last to stand and testify. His name means “the red rose.” His likable face, medium height and build, square jaw and thick mustache make him look like a young Maxim Gorky. He takes his jacket off, rolls up his sleeves with slow, deliberate thrusts, and walks to the podium."
Pasha's description of Doctor putting up the 'red rose' posters
After watching the testimony from the "red rose," Pasha decides to take a walk in order to calm himself. He describes his actions as well as Doctor's actions in a way that the reader is able to conceptualize them as they happen. This imagery plays a pivotal and rather central role in conveying the Doctor's actions to the reader in more relatable terms that appeal to the reader's imagination: "am stepping slowly and methodically, hands in my pockets, willing my thoughts to slow when the silhouette of a man crosses swiftly through the pool of yellow light cast by a streetlight ahead of me. His head is covered with a hat, and he is working quickly to glue something to the wall. He dips a brush into a small pail, then strokes a large X on the wall and slaps a large piece of paper up, moving quickly up the alley. I creep forward to look, and see a poster with a red rose at its center."
Pasha's description of Zari and the feelings she elicits in him
The imagery of the apparent feelings that Zari, the narrator's all-time crush, elicits in him becomes more and more prevalent as the narrator describes her and his own actions following his sight of her. The narrator notices and presents even the tiniest of details about Zari to the reader, a situation which precipitates the creation of mental images: "Zari is dressed in a tight blue T-shirt and a long black skirt covered in a flower pattern. Her damp hair is neatly combed back and she has a touch of makeup on. I’m too nervous and shy to look her in the eye, so every time she comes out to talk to us I clumsily busy myself with unfamiliar wood scraps and tools. When her back is to me, I look at the curve of her bicep and her delicate wrist. I notice the tiny blond hairs on her arm that shine under the sun, and I get so excited I want to jump out of my skin. There’s a soothing tranquility in her gaze, in the smiling eyes of a woman I would love to love. Her tiny waist makes me wish I could wrap my arms around her. I have to look the other way and squint a couple of times to wipe the image from my mind."
