He is nervous about returning home but tries to conceal his anxiety from his wife and son. On the plane, Santiago remembers the last time he returned to the United States. Closing his eyes, he sees himself running away from the mugger who confronted him on his way back to his hotel. Luckily, the only thing he lost was his favorite guitar, but the terror he experienced is with him to this day. Opening his eyes with a start, Santiago tries to convince himself that nothing bad will happen to him this time. Which literary device does the underlined portion of the text most clearly show? A.
