Why the child’s feelings change one language technique which shows us what the child sees is alliteration. An example is “both hands make squashy stars pressed on the window”. This emphasises how excited the kid is about seeing the dog through the window
ReplyDeleteOne language technique which shows us what the child sees and hears is simile, an example is when when child sees the dog and the lady “then a dog, a greyhound, skinny as a one-line drawing of a dog, is on the crossing near countdown with a women whose ambition, you might say about her in a story, was to be a ball, and in time to roll rather than waddle” on line 10 - 15 the simile is “a greyhound, skinny as a one line drawing of a dog” because it is comparing the dog to a stick dog, there is another language technique in this section “a woman whose ambition, you might say about her story, was to be a ball” which is comparing the lady to a ball. This emphasises the dogs skinniness is almost stick thin and the lady who is as round as a ball making the dog look even skinnier.
ReplyDeleteThe child goes from strongly disliking the whole situation with the mother that’s reading the book until the child is filled with happiness when the situation is changed with the dog. The child didn’t like the story because it was boring but then the child was interested by the dog outside countdown.
