Personification is used to make the landscape seem more threatening by giving it human capabilities. ]]> 2018-02-12 15:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/230651290 missbenson https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/230652787 Hi all - hope you’re having a lovely half term!

This can be seen at the beginning of the sixth paragraph. We move out of the past tense, to a comment by the author. Almost like a interview, where they are asked to say what they were feeling whilst watching the event. Is there an actual name for this?]]> 2018-02-13 13:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231015182 https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231025403 Possible Catharsis?? I would say more just acceptance- she hasn’t had a sense of walking away from it just stated that this is what life is like.]]> 2018-02-13 13:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231025403 missbenson https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231329222 Hey Guys - would it be possible
For any comments to state what extract your looking at (title/author) so it’s clear. Interesting ideas so far - hope half term is treating you well :) ]]> 2018-02-13 23:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231329222 missbenson https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231329880 In answer to your question I would say it almost makes them an omniscient narrator. As they know what has happened they are by very definition all knowing :)]]> 2018-02-13 23:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231329880 https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/231436035 The purpose of this is clearly to shock the reader with his treatment.

The use of short sentences to build up description of the old city is very critical of the Israelis. This is similar to the second paragraph because listing and emotive language is used to build up description of the rights lost after the fall of communism.  
2. the use of first person quotations gives a more accurate insight into Palestinian premonitions. the Use of ascetic listing creates a sense of the spontaneous almost live a steam of conciseness-this builds up her opinion on her rights. freedom is also repeated.
3. The use of the context about the situation highlights the negativity of the Israeli campaign which is supported by the view of the driver. Similar to the comment about the death of communism as it is very critical about the fall of it and the effects it had on women. Do all of these points make sense?]]> 2018-02-16 12:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/232290681 https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/232671076 2018-02-18 10:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/missbenson/unseenextract2/wish/232671076
