- brooklyn cop - stanza two
- 'should the tissue tear, should he plunge through into violence'
- repetition of 'should' tells us that it's a hypothetical scenario
- word choice of 'he' implies that the cop initiates all the violence
- word choice of 'plunge' tells us that the cop will have to jump straight into the violence
- some see it as brave because he is leaping into the violence and is ready to help
- and others see it as careless because he could be adding to the never ending violence
- 'what clubbings, what gunshots between Phoebe's Whamburger and Louie's Place'
- repetition of 'what' suggests uncertainty
- 'clubbing' and 'gunshots' are associated with violence
- 'clubbings' and 'gunshots' might be from the cop - theres no definite source of the violence
- 'Phoebe's Whamburger'
- onomatopoeia
- 'wham' from 'whamburger' suggests violence
- 'tissue tear'
- extended metaphor of tissue
- implies that when the tissue tears, it'll be a harsh and sudden act
- uses alitteration
- 'plunge'
- word choice of 'plunge' tells us that the cop will have to jump straight into the violence
- some see it as brave because he is leaping into the violence and is ready to help
- and others see it as careless because he could be adding to the never ending violence
- word choice of 'plunge' tells us that the cop will have to jump straight into the violence
- 'should the tissue tear, should he plunge through into violence'
