WaaR Summer Task (English Lang/Lit Set 2) [18] :

Sylvia was not only a great friend, but the only friend Grace had
...
Whilst Grace
waited for Sylvia to prepare tea, Grace strolled down memory lane
...

He had a striking aura and was so well spoken that he could think of multiple
proverbs off the top of his head
...
‘How’s
Charlie doing?’ asked Sylvia, while placing the tea down onto the table
...
’ Trying to avert her attention to something else, Grace
sipped some tea and instead talked about the baby
...
‘As soon as Charlie
discovered it would be a boy, he couldn’t stop buying things for him, a football,
toy cars a red crib, and along with that, he painted his room in red
...
Within
an hour, the sun was barely visible, the rain clouds gathered slowly like a pack of
wolves once they spot their prey
...

She rushed home, taking the quickest route she knew
...
She did not know what it was
...
Perhaps it was Charlie’s arrival
...
The long-awaited downpour blurred
the windows and with it came a reverberating roar from the sky
...
She couldn’t bear it any
longer, she drove until she found an appropriate place to stop the car and bring
herself back to her senses
...
She wept
and wept and kicked against the front of the car and punched the seat
continuously
...
She knew what time he specifically
mentioned
...
She and the baby held silence just as the
ventricles of the heart retained blood
...
I believed this would
allow me to easily shift between the main character being a focaliser and then
unfolding action
...
g
...
My lexical choices for the
pen portrait of Charlie demonstrates the appreciation of the main character
‘Grace’ as she is the focaliser at this point, ‘striking aura’ ‘newly bloomed blue
hydrangea’
...
There is also a sense of foreboding,
for example ‘Trying to avert her attention’ and ‘hoped would bring good fortune’
...
The concrete nouns ‘football, toy cars, red crib’
create a physical setting of a comforting room
...
I have also used pathetic
fallacy to add to the foreboding, ‘the living room was shrouded in darkness’
...
