The bridge she is standing on represents the bridge crossing into the afterlife. An actual bridge would be unusual as she spends her days in a home, and it would be inconvenient and weird for her to suddenly be on an actual bridge by herself with no nurse. The bridge is a metaphor of the connection between life and death, and by her being on the bridge, it shows that she is on the verge of death.

# data[].attributes.body
'Strangling' suggest how death is slowly choking them, 'pale' it suggest that the day of the people at the old folks home are already being suffocated and has already lost air and is now pale

# data[].attributes.body
The word 'mama' suggests that she thinks that she is the Mother to the dog, talking to it as if it is her own son.

# data[].attributes.body
"frenzied barking" implies that the dog really cherish Mdm Goh, using lots of effort to call for help, and this conveys its strong love for Mdm Goh.

# data[].attributes.body
Giant Smokeless fire -Juxtaposition it is ironic because a big fire produces lots of smoke but this fire is big yet it doesn't produce any smoke at all as if it were fake like an illusion in mrs Goh mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The phrase 'acrid smell of ashes' the word 'ashes' means how when someone die their body will be burnt to ashes.

# data[].attributes.body
'Acrid Smell of ashes'
'Giant smokeless fire'
Seems like a foreshadow that her death is approaching and when one dies,you have to go through cremation.So the 'ashes' can even be depicted as her own ash while the 'fire' is slowly engulfing her body and burning her almost like that of a candle flame going out

# data[].attributes.body
What is the 'waiting list' for

# data[].attributes.body
'Hot august day and an acrid smell of ashes wafted in the air as if a smokeless fire was lit somewhere.' It suggest that the air smelled of death

# data[].attributes.body
The characters that are speaking in this text is Mdm Goh, the mynah and the squirrel. The dog barks as a form of communication. There are long sentences which suggests her old age.
-unknown

# data[].attributes.body
'Good boy, QQ. Good boy.' Monosyllabic sentence

# data[].attributes.body
"Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo,"it sang, shows personification from the bird and it foreshadows that it is hinting to Mdm Goh's death.

# data[].attributes.body
Mdm Goh is growing old as she stammers when she addresses the Mynah as Go-o-o-d girl.

# data[].attributes.body
For paragraph 8 and 10,The dialogue gets shorter.
3 different characters
-Mdm Goh
-Narrator
-Mynah

# data[].attributes.body
Why is there an ellipsis in the third paragraph before the second sentence started.Why is there a brief moment of pause or hesitation?

# data[].attributes.body
Why a squirrel?

# data[].attributes.body
She was talking to herself when she was thinking about QQ. This makes her seem as if she has grown too old and is losing her grasp on reality. It also shows that she has grown more emtotionally weak as she has resorted to talking to herself about QQ to deal with and mourn his death.

# data[].attributes.body
The phrase `the last path she would tread in this life ' this talks about death and about killing herself .

# data[].attributes.body
Is Mdm Goh speaking at the part she asked QQ if he was hungry

# data[].attributes.body
- No same amount of lines in every paragraph
- Narrator's point of view
- The appearance of the Mynah is repeated constantly
- Creepy ; Tense ; Odd ; Peculiar, Some paragraphs referred to death, the first 2 paragraphs were very dark as it mentioned about Mdm Goh's last moments

# data[].attributes.body
Main point : mdm goh and QQ care for each other
At first Mdm Goh complains that QQ does not eat eat his food, but at the end of the passage QQ saves her life.

# data[].attributes.body
Bird eye view

Present to past.

It is confusing.
Paragraphs 2, 3, 4
She is reminiscing her past interactions with the animals she had encountered with. E.g The mynah, QQ, other animals.
She is also having nostalgia for the past two weeks with the mynah

# data[].attributes.body
The paragraphs shows that she reminiscing about her past

# data[].attributes.body
The text is very confusing because it changes from present tense to past tense and then even further back without a fixed time frame.

# data[].attributes.body
Structure of the text is Present to Past like that of a flashback
The tone for the first three paragraphs seems rather solemn but it gets more bright in way ._.
From third person narrator to first person narrator

# data[].attributes.body
She takes cares of the animals as if they are her children. She only talks to animals as she have no family member.

# data[].attributes.body
The last two dialogs does not have any quotation marks

# data[].attributes.body
The structure of the text is from present to past. The writer has frequent flashbacks when the mynah starts to sing.  The main point of view is to show how she felt when she was younger, the feeling of lost, is very strong. She misses the life back when she is still residing in the village. Being able to talk to animals, through food suggests that she is lonely, and that that is the only way to communicate with them. The talking to the animals show throughout the passage. It creates the feeling of nostalgia.
-unknowns

# data[].attributes.body
"After years of waiting, the time had finally arrived- she could see it now,the last path she would tread in this life" suggest that Mdm Goh life coming to an end, where she was expecting it to come sooner or later.

# data[].attributes.body
The start of the passage was as if it was narrated by a third person, however it suddenly changes to Mdm Goh pov

# data[].attributes.body
About the last two paragraphs, it is mostly talking about Mdm Goh and her dog QQ about how good their relationship was .

# data[].attributes.body
The dialogues do not state who is talking

# data[].attributes.body
The general tone used is a very blunt and simple tone. The feel of the text is rather nostalgic. There is the repeated emphasis on the mynah. The feel was created by the blunt manner the author used to write this story. When a person talks or when Mdm Goh thinks of something, it is not written in a paragraph but as a single, solo sentence.

# data[].attributes.body
The passage is confusing.From the first three paragraph,they gave us a feel of sadness from the words the narrator used.
