- The Emigree
- Pathetic Fallacy "There once was a country... I left as a child but my memory of it is sunlight-clear."
- 1st person making it more emotive
- Use of pronouns makes it more emotive- personal experience
- Pathetic fallacy " sunlight-clear" suggests a positive experience
- Is idealistic. Opens like a fairy tale- we expect perfection. Sunlight represents hope
- Has a subtle undertone of negativity
- Viewpoint as child makes it abstract
- Metaphor "The worst news I receive of it cannot break my original view, the bright, filled paperweight"
- Paper weight looks like a fish in an ocean- bright colours/ unique shapes- like the memories
- Paperweight represents 'static' memories as it is an inanimate object
- Important child/ memories doesn't decay/ fade
- Paperweight heavy like a burden
- Experience impairs the judgement of the speaker as there is only one point of view
- Repetition "They accuse me of being dark in their free city. My city hides behind me"
- Shadows/ a sense of foreboding
- She's designed as 'dark'/ different for unknown reasons
- 'Darkness' used to give her feelings of segregation/ isolation
- Loss of human rights/ self-esteem
- The threat is well considered- sounds abrupt. Pronouns contrast to emphasise conflict
- Pathetic Fallacy "There once was a country... I left as a child but my memory of it is sunlight-clear."
