- An Easy Passage - Julia Copus
- Structure
- One long stanza
- Gives flow to the poem and represents the continuity of life and no structure relates to how the girl sees the life ahead of her
- Use of tenses
- Is written on the present tense but the mentioning of the secretary and the girl's mother shows what the future might hold for the girl
- One long stanza
- Language Techniques
- "flush-faced secretary"
- Suggests that a dull life might be ahead of the girl
- "halfway", "for now"
- Suggests that the girl is in between childhood and adulthood
- Up and down, sun and shade, indoors and outdoors, freedom of teenager with work of adult
- Use of opposites creates a sense that things are on the cusp (a pointed end where two curves meet)
- Narrative voice
- Most of the point is through the narrators eye's showing how her point of view is important
- "flush-faced secretary"
- Imagery

- Tone
- Conversational
- Direct speech from the narrator gives sense of an on going conversation
- One long stanza
- Gives an easy flow to the poem as enjabment is used
- Conversational
