'One of them pressed something into Dad's hand...immediately stuffed it into his jacket pocket'.

"If she cared so much where was she for the last three years when Lynn was out of her mind and we didn't have two beans to rub together never mind the money to get Lynn the help she needed, where was this dagger when you got fired and I had to drop out of school".

This shows how Jude is still angry about how he had to stop going to school.

“WORSE THAN ANIMALS-LIKE BLANKERS!”

Chapter 51 Page 201, “What to drink? Warm milk or cold orange juice? In the fridge door was a half-full bottle of Chardonnay.”

Links to Sephy’s privilege as she can choose an expensive wine to drink. She can drink her problems away unlike people without privilege.

"Sephy felt a pang of guilt when she saw the state of the noughts' compartment. She'd never known it was so bad because she'd never bothered to look before."

Page 146 chapter 30

She is starting to understand the privilege she gets.

I’d been ashamed of them. And myself. I’d felt ashamed of myself a lot recently, and, if I’m honest, part of me resented Callum for it. I didn’t want to feel guilty for just being, but that’s how he was beginning to make me feel. ---- page 110

In this quote, Sephy explains the internal conflict she feels as she learns more about the social dynamics between noughts and Crosses. She's ashamed of other Crosses' behavior, and of herself—but this shame also makes her angry at Callum, because she personally doesn't see how she's done anything wrong. At this point in the narrative, she feels she's "just being," and she blames Callum for how she feels as she learns about inequality. This blame is, of course, misplaced; as she learns more and becomes more active in pursuing social equality, Sephy will learn to direct the guilt she feels into action.

‘mother. her drinking getting worse’ i said

‘shes just smoothing out the rough edges.’ minnie smiled wryly

pg 184 chapter 45

this is ironic because sephy being the person to point out her mum drinking then later on in the book doing the exact same thing following in her mums footsteps which is a metaphor

““Would you like to see my ID as well?”Sephy held out her pass. “That won’t be necessary, Miss Hadely”” - page 104 , chapter 24.

This is a interrogative sentence shows the privilege that Sephy is treated with compared to Callum due to after Sephy wants the police officers to take her I’d to the police officers treat her with respect and even call her miss Hadely.

“Naughts are people,just like us.”

Sephy defends the naughts even after Lola threatens her.this shows how she feels that naughts and crosses are equal and should be treated as such.

It makes it sound like ... you're in one place and I'm in another, with a huge, great wall between us. P25

suggest the fact that they cant be friends, because they have too many differences between them, and highlights how they will never be accepted in socienty.

“Everyone’s controlling my life except me” - Chapter 57, she understands that she needs to take initiative on her life and do what she wants.

techniques:

metaphor “everyone’s controlling my life”

hyperbole, exaggerates the control from others

“I just drink because . . . Well, because” - Chapter 53, without realizing, she starts to follow her mother’s footsteps, and can’t find a reason to why she is drinking. She has the privilege to drink away her problems.

“i’m not a moron.

No your worse. you’re a drunk. a lush. an alcy

i covered my ears. don’t say that. that’s enough.”

this shows that callum is hurting sephy and making her emotions worse than they already are instead of being empathetic towards her and help her

“your a drunk. a lush. an alcy.”

short sentence shows aggression and anger

tripartite list reflects how bad she is

Chapter 24 Page 104, “Persephone Hadley. My dad’ the Home Office Minister, Kamal Hadley. Callum is my friend.”
‘That won’t be necessary Miss Hadley.’ Moustaches almost bowed.”

When Callum is asked where he got the ticket then Sephy has to intervene to say that she bought the tickets, and had to tell the officer that her dad was Office Minister.

“You’re still my princess aren’t you?”asked dad hugging me. “I nodded trying to get past the lump in my throat trying not to spill the water”

Refers to how she doesn’t agree with her dad and is trying to hide it away when he calls her his princess when all he is doing to her mentally is crushing her so she has to hide her real feelings.

“Persephone Hadley, My dad’s the home office minister, kamal Hadley.”

Sephys power and privilege can be shown here when she uses her father, who’s has a powerful position, as a threat to an officer to gain special treatment

Chapter 47 Page 188 “ ‘ The ones we tried in Roberts & Miller,’ Mum replied. That was four shoe shops ago.

Depicts that she has privilege as she can go to many shoe shops and choose whichever one they want.

“And there were so many differences, they swamped the similarities”

This is sephy trying to say that all people are the same but they are treated differently just because of their skin colour.

Not their personality or actions, but by the skin colour

There is a metaphor in this quote and there is juxtaposition

“It’s just a word,callum.”

Sephy uses the word blanker, a racial slur, to describe people who are worse than animals and is too naive to realize the severity of the word
