Purple-Simile
The use of similes here creates a
depth to the author that
otherwise wouldn’t exist, the
comparisons show the fragility of
the author and give us her
perspective and feelings.
Tan-Juxtaposition
Here, the author juxtaposes her
mind and body and by stating that
there is a disconnect
Yellow- Internal Monologue
The Poet uses internal monologue
in the phrase; “you might as well
have killed me the first night,” to
highlight the fight within herself
and her lack of hope for life.
yeah
Blue-Imagery & Stream of
Consciousness
This paragraph is an
uninterrupted collection of
thoughts and ideas and with
words such as tensing, shuddering
and trembling creating Imagery,
the poet is able to show the
readers the inner workings of her
mind.
Green-Paradox
“i don’t know who I am anymore
or who’s body I inhabit.” This
statement is a paradox as it is
illogical, of course the author
knows who she is and what body
she inhabits but by using this
paradox she is able to highlight
the disconnect between her mind
and body.
Pink- Lack of Capitalisation and
Punctuation
The lack of capitalisation and
punctuation can be seen as the
poet showing a lack of conviction
and a sign of vulnerability, this is
because the lowercase letters are
less demeaning.
