Knowles creates a chaotic atmosphere through the setting of the 'Naguamsett' river. the river creates a tone of destruction therefore this shows that the river is a symbol of war, as the war tends to be chaotic and destructive similar to the Naguamsett river, also the force of the river portrays the situation of the students in which they are force-fed education , in comparison to the second river which is calm and peaceful which symbolises the life before the war at devon before the school re-opened. moreover

-Knowles creates a contradicting atmosphere in the extract. In the beginning of the extract a carefree atmosphere is created as Finny is "encompassing all the glory of the summer". This displays the innocent and playful attitude the boys have towards the summer. Moreover, the Devon river is presented to be a clean and joyful place that represents the mood the boys have towards the summer session. On the other hand,  the second paragraph of the extract describes the Naguamsett river as being a resented place that is "ugly, saline, fringed with march mud and seaweed".  This contracts the first paragraph as the atmosphere has changed from joyful to resentful which displays the change in innocence of the Devon boys due to the effect of the war. This can effect the reader as it foreshadows the further deterioration of the characters as the war is more significant to their lives.]]> 2018-09-16 06:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857367 https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857376 Extract 2 
Knowles creates a sense of loss and nostalgia through Gene reminiscing over the carefree summer days. Knowles utilises the word "dreamed" to describe the state of mind Leper Lepellier was in during the Summer Session. The word "dreamed" connotes periods of calmness, peace and rest. In addition, Gene supposes that Brinker would have been " the center of all excitement" if the "summer, the gypsy days, had not intervened". This shows that the disappearance of the Summer Session has had a depressing impact on the students, Gene specifically. The word "gypsy" suggests a free-spririted, insouciant person, showing how free the summer days were. ]]> 2018-09-16 06:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857376 https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857380 Knowles creates a sense of longing atmosphere by the use of the two rivers. At Devon "there are two rivers"  and the first river reminds Gene of Phineas. It is the river that represents their summer and the fun they used to have. Gene describes Phineas to be "like a river God" and is creating a mesmerised tone towards Phineas and therefore creating an atmosphere of admiration to Phineas. a "God" is held in a hight place and therefore is showing Phineas' dominant character. Furthermore, the Devon river is symbolic of the time before the accident and the time of innocence during the summer. however, the "Naguamsett river" is a contrast to the "Devon river" and it is "ugly, saline fringed with marsh, must and seaweed". this shows the river to be impure and disgusting, creating an unsettling mood. it furthermore foreshadows something unfortunate might occur. There is a tone of dislike and bitterness towards the river since they "never used this lower river" durning the summer. The contrast in the rivers symbolises the change in mood after Phineas' accident and summer. the dislike towards the "Naguamsett river" an unfamiliar tone and thus causing a longing for the summer session. ]]> 2018-09-16 06:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857380 https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857415 Extract 2:
Knowles creates an atmosphere in which the character of Gene experiences loss which makes him experience change. Previously, Gene used to enjoy the company of Leper, but know, he has Brinker, who is forever obsessed with his "steady wit and ceaseless plans." Knowles uses the word ceaseless, as it means constant and unending, which suggests that Brinker is tiring to be around as he is constantly involved in the same thing. This is in contrast to Finny or Leper, who were very interested by the simple things in life, like ivy or sports. This describes Brinker as a very unreflective, self-centered person, much unlike Finny, who was described as dreamy and wistful. This also shows how much Gene's social status was hegomonized by Finny and his characteristics. Lastly, the "gypsy (summer) days" are used by knowles, to describe the atmosphere of the summer days as relaxing and carefree. This is done as the word gypsy relates to a group of people who are homeless and are in a state of blithe disregard, making their life easy, which is what is used to describe the summer days. Knowles thus makes an atmosphere in which the characters are to make a transition from total bliss to indefatigable studies]]> 2018-09-16 06:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857415 https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857421 Extract 1:

Knowles creates a sense of lost innocence in the extract. This is shown when "the standards let down". This implies that they were allowed to do what they wanted to since it was their last summer before being enlisted.  The phrase "let down" suggests that the masters are disappointed with their behaviour during the summer. This is a complete contrast to the sense of rigidness he creates at the end of the extract when Knowles states that "if you broke the rules, then they broke you". This foreshadows how the boys will be trained once they are enlisted. This also emphasises the sense of authority in Devon that was not present during the summer. ]]> 2018-09-16 06:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857421 aribalraj https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11extract/wish/281857475 Extract 1:

Knowles creates a sense of authority and a commanding tone in the extract. At Devon, "if you broke the rules, they broke you". This creates a negative and resentful tone as the boys have to follow these traditions or else the masters become assertive. In the summer session they were able to have a lot of freedom, and the ability to act very carefree, however; now they have to go back to the regiment of following rules. In addition, the rules are foreshadowing how the boys will eventually need to train for the war and need to follow all these rules.

Knowles creates a tense atmosphere in the extract, he foreshadows the chaos that is to come upon Devon. This is shown when Gene is sat through the chapel service, “It was forced on me.” This portrays that guilt got the better of Gene following Finny’s accident, which led Gene to question his actions and what he is like as a person. Knowles shows us the contrast between the two seasons winter and summer by the different hymns sung in the chapel. “Foolish gypsy ways, unforgiven.” This suggests how the hymns were mesmerising and celebratory.
