Wars Consequences

Appearance and Reality

Often deceptively simple, short sentences, pared down style. Allows us directly in to thoughts and feelings of narrator. Allows clear depiction of war scenes. Look for how this style is achieved with the use of techniques:

Imagery- Simile, metaphor personification. Also symbolism- look at weather and sympathetic background Descriptive detail- look at use of adjectives Repetition for effect Some use of direct speech to admit us directly into action Structure

Love and Hate

Revenge

Language and Style Onomatopoeia, alliterationsound effects bring us closer to the action

Themes Nicole Renard

Heroes
A young man returns from the war with terrible facial injuries. He is also damaged mentally, but from events before as well as during the war. An awful secret eats away at him and he seeks revenge against a man from his past whom everyone considers a hero.

Not all in chronological order. Use of flashbacks adds to tension. Switches between present and past tense. At War In Frenchtown, before and after the war
