Changing Mood/ToneClick the coloured words/phrases for more...

The way seemed interminable, and the streets like the black web of some sprawling spider. The monotony became unbearable, and as the mist thickened, he felt afraid. The way seemed pleasant, and the streets like intricate threads of embroidery. The anticipation became unbearable, and as the sunlight broke through the clouds, he felt thrilled.

Changing Mood/Tone

Now rewrite the second paragraph. Replace the industrial landscape with features of beauty. For example, you might decide that the traveller is looking at a magnificent church or beautiful park. Replace the barking dog and screaming seagulls with sounds that are soothing or uplifting. If you can, include imagery and language devices as the writer has done in their text.

How has the writer used language to describe the journey into London?Task 1: Using the explanations and examples below, fill in the blanks with example literary techniques, quotations, and comments on effect. Challenge/Extension: Choose one of the rows from above and write your answers out into full sentences. For example: The writer has used the adjective “interminable”. This suggests that the journey felt endless, meaning the traveller arrives in London already exhausted and frustrated. It could also have connotations of torture, as if the journey has been unbearable.
