- preposition highlights how they are not even inside a house to shelter their family
- the spatial deixis of being out on the 'streets' highlights how there are people who can't fulfil the lifestyle depicted through stereotypes such as Parisian models on magazines or tourists exploring the city of love
          --> subversion of the abstract noun love is also shown through the 'tiny baby crying'
- dynamic verb 'crying' - shows pain, distress which conveys how there is a struggle to live
- pre modifying adjective 'tiny' highlights a lack of development and a hinderance towards being able to establish a good start to life despite being in Paris which is viewed to be posh and filled with opportunities
--> although Paris seems like a place of opportunity, the stark reality is that not everybody is given the chance to establish a good life]]> 2022-03-22 14:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/iands/wish/2107588128 https://padlet.com/nhussey1973/iands/wish/2107588440 Sophia :

Contrast of poverty and beautiful city.
