Description

Walking and chewing at the same time!

A knowledge of the narrative techniques and stylistic features used by the masters will help you improve your writing skills.

By applying an analytical lens to texts, you will improve the quality and depth of your text-based essays.

The analytical sentence models help you explain the multi-layers of meaning within the text with greater clarity and precision.

This nifty workbook covers a variety of key story-telling categories which help you intuitively incorporate language features into your own writing. It covers:

key ideas; an author’s message; landscape and “world of the text”; narrative perspectives: tone and manner of speaking; similarities and differences; imagery and symbolism; verse and rhyming structure; sentence styles and stylistic features; the language of ambiguity; how to quote.
