I am not very sure about this, but I think it is asking about how the author uses different literary devices in the book and how does this usage affect the whole book.

Literary devices are like Chinese's 修辭手法. To check the list of the literary devices, take a look on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_technique

Mostly, the common ones are:

Alliteration something like 雙聲
Anthropomorphism or (Personification ) 擬人
First Person Narration 第一人稱
Foreshadowing 伏線
Hyperbole 誇飾
Imagery 圖像化
Irony 諷刺
Onomatopoeia 擬聲
Plot twist 轉截
Symbolism 象徵

Also, metaphor （比喻） are some of the mostly used ones.

Hope that it helps :)
