In The Snack Bar Flashcards
Cup capsizes
Alliteration creates a harsh sound
Monsterous animal caught in a tent
Smilie - trapped, frustrated, angered and other are scared of him so he is isolated
If he could see
Evokes sympathy from the reader attitude for him changes. We descover he is blind.
‘I want - to go to the - toilet’
The dashes are used to show his stutter nervousness and dependency on the help of strangers
Like a landscape to be negotiated
Smilie- multiple obstacles to be traversed, highlights how everyday tasks are complicated and challenging for him.
And slowly we go down and slowly we go down
Repetition- emphasis on the time it takes to make a journey down the stairs but also mimics the repetitive motion of climbing stairs.
Face the stairs
As he has to face so many challenges in life.
Yet he must trust men
He must trust and really. On. The kindness of others however this is hard to do and the author. And the reader pity Him.
His most pitiful needs.
His basic human needs which are private needs to be one. With assistance which is embarrassing for him.
Rains of August.
The rain emphasises the dark and. Depressing mood of the poem
