Inside we see that it is full of stairs, floors cabins, and various other places to sit. We also see that it is a cozy place that is much better than where they are at the moment]]> 2018-03-07 02:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238978571 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238979967 The chapter is written by Isla through her eyes more focused on Bo, It gives the idea Saturdays are quiet for them and a day off in a way, the chapter is more on Bo, He is caring for the kids helping them out and making them laugh like he is part of their family showing his child like side.]]> 2018-03-07 02:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238979967 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238980361 This chapter is mainly set in the Galley as the captain is trying to make his way through the pack ice.]]> 2018-03-07 02:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238980361 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981496 The characterisation of “tiny people … fairies … giant[s].” reinforces facts/descriptions from the previous paragraph that the ship was massive, big and warm and cozy inside. this is also perhaps because the kids are tiny even in proportion to a normal adult so it increases the difference more.  They are "like tiny people, like fairies..." also shows the mood of the chapter is lifted a little, and Isla's brother is mentioned a few times. Her brother is happy after he meets Soren. His brother "really laughed" and Isla "saw his eyes, how big they were". At the end of the chapter it is shown that her brother is in a good mood as he said that he would "share the chewing gum".  A number of innocent, fun incidents again show the caring side of the 'giant' men and the lovely relationship between Isla and her brother]]> 2018-03-07 02:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981496 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981693 Isla describes the Nella Dan as a ship that is "cosy and comfortable and lived in and loved." This is in contrast to how Isla describes the ships all lined up as "grey and clean and organised. Compartmentalised". The polysyndeton shows that Isla is excited to get on the Nella Dan. 

As Isla goes inside the Nella Dan she uses polysyndeton again talking about the "many floors and cabins and corridors and outside decks..."]]> 2018-03-07 02:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981693 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981808 The chapter is based on Isla, and  her family is visiting Bo on the Nella Dan. Bo made them lunch and they also meet Soren. Her brother gets to take home a box of chewing gum.  Which her and her brother shared]]> 2018-03-07 02:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238981808 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238982627 During chapter 12 Parrett evokes a realistic setting by providing very small details of the setting and the Galley. Parrett is attentive to small but specific details that create a vivid spatial image of the galley. For example, a plausible action “pastries coming out the oven” is coupled with an aroma “sweetness in the air”, creating a sense of place that also is inhabited by realistic characters, kitchen staff, who are depicted in a manner congruent with that occupation.  ]]> 2018-03-07 03:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238982627 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983253 The chapter is set early in the morning in the gallery on the Nella Dan. Bo is speaking about how it is lonely and quiet, while they all wait for breakfast. In this chapter we also meet Leo (baker), Erik, Jonas and Klaus. ]]> 2018-03-07 03:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983253 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983454 2018-03-07 03:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983454 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983514 At the end of the chapter there is a mood of reflection as Bo is remembering what it is like for him when he first joined the ship. He remembers the shock of the long days filled with hard work and no rest. He remembers that it is especially hard since you are very far away from home.
Unlike the beginning of this chapter, it ends on a melancholy note of homesickness, but more specifically depicts the loneliness of young sailors who are adjusting to working at sea, “so very far away from home”. ]]> 2018-03-07 03:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238983514 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238985093 "I haven't smelt grass since I was a boy" gives the idea that Bo has been away from home for a while and can't actually remember when he last spent time out on the grass, he gives the feeling that he remembers his child hood as something as a good memory.]]> 2018-03-07 03:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/238985093 https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239437314 We have a vivid description of Isla's next door neighbour mowing her lawn. We get to see Bo's childish side shine when his senses overcome him after the lawn is mowed. ]]> 2018-03-07 22:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239437314 charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239531960 2018-03-08 07:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239531960 charlotte_wells https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239532450 2018-03-08 08:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_wells/933826p7bdtz/wish/239532450
