Showing his knowledge of the city and the things associated with it, doesn't need a guidebook etc.

What does 'I'm compiling my shopping list' say about Parisians?
How causal things are for pedestrians in their everyday life compared to tourists being 'lost souls'.

Discuss the significance of 'as careless as birds in a tree'.
It is a simile which helps us to come to the conclusion that the writer uses more lexical devices when describing the Pedestrians.

Not leaving anyone out, cannot generalise experience of Paris, need to experience it yourself without tour guides or guidebooks.

Very dreamy, encouraging reader to join him in experiencing Paris in such a way.
10 of 14

Shows the reader that you need to experience Pairs slowly and not in a rush.

Differs from regular structure, showing how generalised they are and how they all follow the same pattern.
13 of 14

Throughout, he links paragraphs such as 'After that' in line 43: Link together, flows to show how someone in Paris would be normal and flow of speech etc.
