IMAGE:What

red suggest?

What

is

the

effect

of

the

blurred image

of

the

car?

What

does

the

button

in Arabic

say about

the

story/ chatacters/ setting?

How do all

these

elements contribute

to

the

creation

of

a

mysterious

atmosphere?

SOUND:What

does

the

eerie

music imply?

Where

does

the

story

take

place? What

does

the

sound

of

birds

say

about

this?How is

‘silence’

represented

in the

story?

Page 22: The multimodal turn ferrarelli m 2013 ispams

TEXT:Who

is

‘he’? Does

this

ambiguity

build

up expectation?Why

does

the

narrator

feel

surprised

when

‘he’

speaks

‘perfect

English’?Is

there

any

repetition

of

words? Any

parallel

structures? (‘waited

for people’, waited

for

sirens’)

What

is

the

effect

of

alliteration/ consonance/ similes?Are there

any

sensory

images?
