One example of a literary device used in the novel "Crossover" by Kwame Alexander is imagery. On page 262, the author writes:

"Your Mama says you're losing touch with the color orange. You don't know why - although you're focused on getting that invite to the National Championship, which requires absolute focus - but you take her advice."

The imagery of "losing touch with the color orange" is used metaphorically, suggesting that the protagonist is becoming disconnected from his emotions or his sensitivity. This device helps to create a visual representation of the character's inner struggles and adds depth to his internal conflict.
