A passage to Africa

A passage to Africa

1. Language to create atmosphere by the use of imagery and by the use of restore Al questions pictures that companies want, TV news.

   • Line1: "hungry, lean, scared and betrayed faces"
   • Line 7: "like a ghost village"
   • Line 8: "most striking pictures"
   • Line 10: "started our trip just a few days before no longer impressed us much"
   • Line: "60-61: "this smile had turned the tables on the tacit agreement."
   • Line 61-63: “uttering a single word, the man had posed a question that cut to the heart of the relationship between me and him, between us and then, between the rich world and the poor world.”
   • Line 66-67: “I resolved there the. That I would write the story of Gufgaduud with all the power and purpose I could muster.”
   • Line 71: “Meeting him was a seminal moment.”

2. Structure to see how it's written by the use of repetition to create effect

   • Line 5-7: "Take the Badale Road for a few kilometres till the end of the tarmac, turn right on to a dirt track, stay on it for about forty-five minutes."

3. Uses emotive language to despair stereotypes. So we feel guilty, invaded. Language is used so use believe things.

   • Line 12-13: “Pictures that stun the editors.” “So move people in the comfort of their setting rooms.
   • Line 34: “The degeneration of the human body.”
   • Line 58-30: “There is an unwritten code between the journalist and his subjects in these situations.” Reverse rolls. “The journalist is active, the subject is passive.
   • Line 57: “deprivation.” Awful situation: - the simile that the man gave the reporter that he was embarrassed of his aspect, but then the reporter was embarrassed of not helping him, of being rich. Makes him think how this affects his entire life. Makes him question himself and turned the roles around when normally they would be, and not the journalist. Line 67: “muster” get energy from something.
