The Prodigal Flashcards
theres an extremely strong and overwhelming odour
brown enormous odour
the smell is so overpowering that its claustrophobic
too close
personifies smell or describes the animals
breathing and thick hair
describes the floor
floor was rotten
the walls and floors are covered in animal waste
glass-smooth dung
hes sunk so low even the pigs are judging him
self-righteous
the pigs’ eyes followed him
hes secretive - alcoholism
(he hid the pints behind a two-by-four)
the sun brings hope
sunrise
the rising sun makes him feel better and makes him feel like life is worth living
seemed to reassure
he might be able to endure this existence a little longer / he’s not ready to face his problems/the truth yet
he almost might endure his exile yet another year or more
he doesn’t like the night time, he struggles to cope at night. Line is ominous and smth negative is about to happen, we’re going to see another perspective
But evenings the first star came to warn
the animals in the barn are more comfortable than him
cows and horses in the barn beneath their overhanging clouds of hay
the animals have companionship
safe and companionable as in the Ark
the pigs seem happy and cozy unlike the Prodigal
pig stuck out their little feet
the farmer leaves and the hope left is gone
The lantern - like the sun, going away
