ENG1516 WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Tutorial Letter Applied English Literature Studies: Foundation Phase First Additional Language Department of English Studies This is a feedback Tutorial Letter for Assignment 03 UNISA Dear Student FEEDBACK OF ENG1516 ASSIGNMENT 03 Thank you for completing your third assignment. This feedback tutorial letter provides you with guidelines and examples of how you could have responded to the questions set for the assignment. Please study it alongside the specific feedback comments that you received from your marker. If you are unsure about why you received your mark, please contact Mr Russell Goldman at: Question 1.1 Identify three poetic techniques which serve to highlight the emotions experienced by the children in a crowded taxi during the Covid pandemic. This question requires you to name three poetic techniques used in the poem to highlight the emotions experienced by the children and include quotes from the poem to support the techniques you named. Some examples of poetic techniques you could have identified are: Onomatopoeia, to enhance feelings of excitement or fear: - School starting now, we together bleat - Small Sam sneezes over us, so we screech Alliteration, to enhance feelings of calm: - Driver Lebo soothes us with sweets to eat Internal rhyme, to enhance feelings of panic, concern, or fear: - Don’t swipe; use this paper wipe; please don’t leak! Question 1.2 Examine the end-rhymes “bleat” and “screech”. What do these words denote about the children’s attitudes within the context of the poem? This is a relatively straight-forward question that you could have answered in several ways, but ideally you should have identified that both words are examples of onomatopoeia, are both sounds made by animals and, thus, denote a sense of panic, fear, agitation or excitement in the children.
