The Justice Game Flashcards
“There were 30 men, sweating in the heat, screeching and shouting”
Listing
Through the use of sensorial imagery “screeching and shouting” Robertson paints a grim picture of the prisoners lifestyle, ensuring that the audience is sympathetic towards the prisoners.
“I was taken to visit him [michael x] in the way one might be taken by a zookeeper to see the rarest specimen in a monkey house”
Analogy
Metaphorically represents the grotesque deplorable nature where Michael x is locked up and treated unfairly. The analogy depicts the guards to have treated the prisoners as if they were animals, therefore degrading humanity.
“Not write on W-R-I-T-E on my lord but R-I-G-H-T on”
Characterisation
The direct quote of felix Dennis talking to Argyle is included to depict Argyle as old fashioned and out of touch with the times. This represents Argyle to have an incorrect perspective in the modern day era, thus, not understanding the point of putting the rulers bear in the magazine.

“Bone headed beliefs”
Alliteration
This label is applied to those who deny climate change as they state “climate change stopped in the year 1998” suggesting that their theory is absolutely ridiculous. This represents the conflicting perspective of gloves to be unreliable, thus making the audience to consider the current impact climate change has on today’s society.
“Every cyclone is applauded and claimed as a noisy, dead witness for their side”
Personification
This creates humour for the audience and suggests that the conflicting perspective is utterly stupid.
“These initial responses to global warming on both sides, were understandable”
Use of commas, creates a slow pace and change of mood.

“We need to front up to the challenge of building a low carbon economy”
Inclusive language
Convinces the reader to engage themselves in the action of solving climate change issues, thus supporting Glover and his willingness to change the world.

“Do you think you are breaking bread with black people?”
“Ummm”

High modality creates tone of certainty
