         <title>the fields of sunflowers scorched by the dry wind, at the pig farms, at the quarries and rivers and at the wild garlic growing green at the edge of the road.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>“fields of sunflowers scorched by the dry wind" this creates harsh, violent imagery for the difficult  lifestyle </div><div><br></div><div>‘garlic growing green” this conveys a  use of alliteration. Alongside green is regularly associated with growing and nature. Perhaps lev exclaims he hopes for a bright future </div><div><br></div><div>The garlic is exclaimed to grown at the 'edge of the road' .The word 'edge' implies that there is very little growing there, and any present is almost growing off the road.  Emphasizing that there is very little hope in his country because how most of the hope is not even on the road. The adjective 'wild' can also emphasize how little hope there is due to the fact that it seems unknown to them</div><div><br></div><div>scorched and growing - two different tenses were used which were the present and past tense creating a contrast between life and death. This foreshadows the message of "my time is coming" because the past tense can be linked to leaving his past behind and the present tense can show that there is hope growing for his future and for his daughter's future</div>]]></description>
