In contrast to extract 1, extract 2 has a similar structure. However the context surrounding it is different as it is affected by social influences instead of historical. The context is set out in a mental institution, where the connotations are sadness and oppression. Alice dislikes the institution and when describing it, she uses a negative tone and expresses it using figurative language. She relates the institution to a prison, where every night the attendants "locked the huge heavy door". This creates the image of being trapped and behind bars.
